Cyanotypography :

In this workshop I learned about how to create art with just the use of cyanotype paper, the ambient lighting of the sun and water. By drawing my desired patter on acetate with a black marker I then placed that on top of the cyanotype paper and clamping it together and placing it in the sun to expose for around 30 minutes in order for the light to transfer the marks made onto the paper. Once exposed I simply drowned the paper into a water tray to darken the parts of the paper and make the marks I made which were exposed more evident. In the end I left it to dry on the drying track.

I really like how the cyanotype on the right came out best as it has a very sketchy and spooky ambiance to it even though it’s a simple composition of still life fruits. The first try didn’t exactly turn out as I expected but I still appreciate the abstract composition as it looks like a bunch of match sticks.

Overall I really enjoyed the process of creating this kind of art however I’m not an extreme fan of the outcomes as they’re not my usual style of expressing myself through art.
