1) Gum Bichromate Printing – Potassium Dichromate (orange powder) mixed with water, this becomes light sensitive so it has to be kept in a dark bottle in a dark closet. Add this mixture to gum arabic, plus some watercolor (blue, red, green and black) paint paper with this substance in dark room.
-Making a digital negative: in photoshop turn the image into grayscale and then choose image, adjustments, invert WALA! you have a negative. Then print this on wet media acetate.
-put the digital negative with the watercolor paper in a contact printer. Then put it outside for 3-6 min, then put it in water and you do this 4 times, each with a different color watercolor and at the end you’ll have a print!
- Edward Steichen – 1900’s created gum prints. Made a platinum print (most permanent print possible) on watercolor, and then gum print on top. He made photograph of flatiron building. His print of a pond auctioned off for the most in photography history – 3million!!

thanks a bunch. I appreciate it greatly
Thanks Adina, you're the best.
But for homework, do we have to take something just for the color or should it also look good in black and white?
well we're going to be turning it into b&w and then re-coloring certain parts...
