Printing Cyanotypes has been around for over 100 years and continues to be experimented with my many artists. It was used primarily as a means to print blueprints but artists like Anna Atkins, Christian Marclay, Marco Breuer, and Kate Cordsen have used the medium to create phenomenal works.
In this video I show you some of the experimental ways I use cyanotypes, as well provide tips and tricks to getting the best results for yourself.
If you are interested in learning more about the cyanotype process check out my other videos on the topic and feel free to leave any questions in the comment section below.
