Using Objects on Cyanotype Prints

Video Transcript

"So, I'm toning paper, and sometimes I tone paper the night before I print. I have a nice spot in my house that I can keep it where it's very dark but sometimes that gets a little cluttered so I have this paper safe here where I coat paper and I lay it in very gently and as I go through my demonstrations, there's one of them, part I do for myself, I always know just about how much paper I have and what kind of shapes I have coated them in. So right now I'm looking for a nice long shape because I want to do some work where I can actually find some leaves and I can sort of line them up and get a very painterly cyanotype. This is again, this is great for kids or people who aren't photographers who want to do this but don't own a camera. So, I'm going to line up my image just like this, I'm going to put some glass over it, I'm going to put it outside and we're going to look at what I get."
