So I'm trying to bring everything up to speed.
There are three paintings in this post - one watercolour and two cyanotypes.
I was so fortunate to have been gifted a day at a printing works to learn how to make cyanotypes - a process used in making blueprints.
You can use all sorts of papers to make cyanotypes - and I chose to use watercolour paper, so that I could paint some details in watercolour afterwards.
The Sun Always Rises
Harvest Time
and finally, a watercolour commission of a lovely rescue boy
Tanner
I thought, for interest, I'll also show you the cyanotypes as they were hanging up to dry, after coming out from the wash tray, in which any excess chemicals were removed.
and for those on you on Facebook, I now have an artist page HERE
