gum oil prints

[windrivermaiden]

I took a foray into a different process: Gum Oil. I bought a book on the process a few years ago and finally tried it. The first 2 results....

Mr Lincoln, Huntington Beach 2006
This image was taken by my better half. Thanks, honey.

These look great! Especially for a first effort - very nicely done. :thumbup:

Now all I need to do is get things selling or at least a display. Anyone else having any luck with getting non-traditonal prints into gallery space. I keep hitting a brick wall. Lots of ooohs and aaaaahs but no takers.
Any ideas?

Hi Re: Gum oil Technique... Where do you buy product? Is it a meathod of transferring pic onto cloth (material) Very interested for Mixed Media Project. Thanks Chris

No transfer. This is a true photographic process. You can find more information about the basics of the process straight from the man who invented it, Karl P. Koenig.

His book is very infomative and interesting as is the man, him self.

This a great process, maybe you should open your own gallery.
