Winter Watercolor (January 22, 2025)
Learn the fascinating art of Cyanotype, a camera-less photography technique involving objects on solution-coated paper and exposed to UV light (natural or synthetic/boxed), which results in a gorgeous Prussian Blue background with white contrasts. This magical process originated a few years after what we know as modern photography and offers endless ideas when it comes to using 3D objects to create unique art. From natural specimens like flowers, weeds, branches, and rocks, to Goldfish crackers, keys, jewelry, and more....Cyanotype is a channel into a fun and easy to do artform that will give you the surprise factor as you wait for images to come to life!
