ABSTRACT
THE PROCESS Gum printing is closely related to printmaking. e artist mixes a solution of equal amounts of gum arabic, dichromate and watercolor pigment. e emulsion is then brushed onto a watercolor paper, dried, a negative is laid on top, put into a contact print frame and exposed to UV light. e exposures are short and the gum solution that was not exposed to light is washed away using several baths of running water. After the paper is dried the artist can recoat with the same color or a dierent color and the process is repeated as often as the artist likes.
