This week I gave gum arabic four colour separations a whirl at The Bluecoat. I loved the results and decided to experiment further with this and so the next day with guidance from the master of Gum Arabic Justin Sanders myself and Hannah Fray both produced some amazing prints for our first trial of the process. Sometimes referred to as paper lithography, this method of printmaking uses photocopies saturated with gum arabic. The ink of the photocopy attracts the ink on the roller and can then be printed. Four Colour Seperations involves inking up the CMYK layers of an image separately then overlaying them.
I hopefully will be entering these images to the mini print exhibition in York.
