Gumprint is a related technique of lithography. It allows, by means of gummi arabicum, to print from a laser document. I use my original sketches from life drawing as the final line drawing onto my prints by this method. Before printing I create a shadow image with diluted china ink applied with a brush onto the virgin ragpaper. Then colour is added to act as backdrop for the line drawing by means of a printing press. This may involve several passages through the press to build up the colour. It is a multilayered process. At the very end the gumprint of the line drawing is added in a final passage through the press. The result is a kind of 'trompe-oeuil', an interplay between the shadow image and the life figure in the foreground.

No better school to train the eye than the study of the human figure. In years of life drawing classes I have acquired a sensibility for the beauty and uniqueness of the human body, catching vitality and movement in a series of rapid sketches which are then translated onto canvas, board and paper. In my prints and graphic work I create monotypes using the origianal drawings which are applied as gumprints - a technique related to lithography - onto rag paper by means of a printing press.
