Grumpy Fish - 8x10 Original Cyanotype
Meet Gary. He is an accountant from Connecticut and he loathes Mondays.
8”x10” Original cyanotype print on 300g watercolor paper.
Each print is an original and the cyanotype chemicals are individually handpainted on the paper, so the tones will give subtle variations among prints. The beauty of cyanotypes is that each print is perfectly imperfect and unique.
About cyanotype:
A cyanotype (sun-print) is light sensitive photographic print that dates back to the 1840’s. I create my art by painting a light sensitive solution onto watercolor paper. The paper is covered with transparent film negatives that I create from my photographs and other organic material that I have pressed. I then expose the surface to sunlight. Whatever is on the surface, plants or a negative, blocks the light and the remaining paper that is exposed to sunlight will be chemically altered. Finally, the print is washed with water which rinses off the remaining chemicals and results in a deep Prussian blue color.
