This second course in cyanotype will take the process further using the wet cyanotype method, exploring mix-media techniques for applying the solutions plus toning to get the cyanotype blue to shift to warm browns and magentas. We will also experiment to try other household products that change the resulting image’s color.
Different papers and surfaces, including coating and printing on digital prints and adding image transfer methods, will be introduced. Students apply marks with pencils and paints to enhance their results. All in the creative spirit of pushing the possibilities for your final image.
This 3-session, 12-hour workshop, will challenge you to explore “what if” with the hope of happy accidents, as well as how far you can challenge the look of the resulting image through not only the cyanotype process but also with other post applications and mediums.
Materials: Your materials’ fee will cover transparency film and inks for printing digital negatives, cyanotype pre-mixed solutions, paper for coating, proofing frames, and toning solutions for experimentation. Please bring any of the following papers: Rives BFK, Canson, and/or any watercolor paper that can be fully immersed in water; some water-based paints (watercolor and/or acrylic paints); scissors, graphite and color pencils; paint brushes of various sizes for creative coating; pre-printed digital prints using matte paper to coat with cyanotype. (An inkjet printer will be provided, so you can bring your laptop with your preferred photo editing software.)
