Gumoil

Between engraving and photography

Gumoil combines gum and raw pigments for an organic rendering between engraving and photography. Pigment adheres to gum areas hardened by UV light, creating images with rich texture and raw character.

Gumoil

The raw gesture

Gumoil allows applying oil pigments onto a photosensitized gum layer. Exposed areas harden and retain pigment, while unexposed areas remain soluble. The result is an image of incomparable organic quality.

Materials

Gelatin-coated watercolour paper 640 gsm · VP N°03 sensitizer · Oil pigments · Gum arabic
