Out of the blue!

I enjoy mixing media and experimenting with techniques, it creates new opportunities in which to develop my work. In this piece of art I combine cyanotype printing with drawing.

In my previous post Catching the sun- creating my cyanotype prints I explained the process I use to make cyanotype print pictures.

For this cyanotype print I used a small wooden bird blank, a paper doily, dried lavender and gypsophila flowers.

I exposed the paper to sunlight. You can see where the shapes have been.

I then stopped the paper's exposure by washing it in a water bath.

The resulting cyanotype print.

I then completed my picture by using a paint pen to add details.

This piece of work will be up for grabs in my SteemFest Art Giveaway tonight! See my previous SteemFest Art Giveaway here.
