Experimenting






These pieces were when I was experimenting with Cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown and Gum Bichromate processes on 140lb watercolor paper. It's important to start with good negatives and the ones I made from the 35mm originals were not of the best quality. When the final product didn't come out so great I redrew back into some of the pictures with watercolor and pencil crayon.

When the process is done properly the results are amazing and can produce great texture, as well as experimenting with black & white and color. Black and white prints can be given a unique texture and depth of field from the process as well.
