How To Do Cyanotype Sun Prints For Mixed Media Art Imagery

[@ivermectin3191]

IM SOOOOOO HAPPY YOU did a positive photo instead of a negative- been searching for 4 days for this info🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@isabellastoakes]

I love that u draw on it i've never seen that!!! 😍 will try something like that!

[@adamm4926]

Cheers for the video. I love experimenting with cyanotypes and will definitely give the coloured pencil thing a go.

[@AlyakIanaj]

This is awesome thank you. Can you tell me how you were able to get your image on that clear film in a printer? Was it a special printer or any printer will work. Thanks in advance!

[@caesarmzw7155]

still waiting for the answer

David, I understand the concept of blueprinting. I've made thousands of Architectural blueprints back in the 60's. I've never experimented with Cyanotype mix and didn't even know about it. I have a real good understanding of how to use Photoshop. What I don't understand is how to take one of my converted and inverted B&W digital images and make a physical 'negative' out of it so I can overlay it on the Cyanotype emulsion. What's the process to accomplish that? What sort of transparency film to I print on? I have a Canon Pro 9000 Mark II.

[@KarolinaRGameDesign]

I use inkjet acetate to print negatives on, when printing you have to change paper type to transparency and make sure you print on the right side of acetate

[@daniellehaggard7401]

You make an adjustment layer in a negative. Flip the image on the horizontal. Then print it on transparency paper/film. Then you have your negative. See McNally channel for exact technique on Photoshop.

How are you making a tape transfer? ♡

[@tgchism]

Opens up another creative option for photography!

[@soulstirmagic]

Excellent video. Lots of info and very interesting. Good job

[@val1702]

Good teacher, thank you!!

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

I had ideas of colouring some of my cyanotypes. Your presentations are great. I'll go ahead now. I tone them with tea and coffee, but I always lose clarity in the highlights., even with bleaching. I love the hand colouring idea. :-)

[@TheRm65]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@FernandoRuedaBucaramanga]

Wowww David, I'm so impressed with your work, I want to learn more about coloring cyanotype prints, do you a video about it? Muchas gracias!!!

[@barrywhite1872]

Great Video, thank you David!

[@teresaconahan1731]

This is such a great video... thank you so much. Wealth of info. Inspired to create!

[@MonicaOcegueda-o7b]

can you explain how to do a tape transfer?

[@fullbola]

Very informative and interesting. Thank you!

[@bradeedwards2505]

david, great video man! the print that you have at 2:30 - what is that printed on? Because it doesn't look like copy paper. I thought you would mention it but i didn't hear it. im a long time artist and want to try this.

[@thirdeyereptiles]

I think he’s putting packing tape onto some paper then putting into a print to get the ink transfer

[@susanserro6117]

Spectacular video

[@Zfishnet]

I have to do this

[@augustwhorff3314]

Hi new viewer. New to this form of art. My daughter is the artist and she loves experimenting with different forms of art. I understand the basics. I remember making solar art with leaves n such as a kid. But can you explain how you made that "transfer" I think you called it.

[@Panasonicyouth123]

Great video mate!

[@user-ju8sy2pd8h]

Thank you SO MUCH!

[@MarissaLayman-z5h]

I would love have more information about the cyanotype process. I tried to do the packing tape transfer and print a photo. But it didn't work. I would love to know how to fix my problem.

[@janellekean9055]

Thank you!

[@emanuelcarvalho8510]

I loved that

[@micheledobbs1724]

Trying to understand the transfer image process . You can make a print of the negative then what after you make the print ?

[@miskinagirl]

can you paint over the cyanoprint on fabric without messing up the image?

[@alicebensi8774]

you're amazing!!!

[@nicqueen125]

Great video! If I want to have a black background like a photogram do you know how I could achieve that?

[@Foxglove963]

N G. You can't. This is Cyanotype, it's all shades of blue only. You can tone blueprints after development, but this means those will look like brownprints. Success, the blueprint technique is from 1842 and is pretty stable.

[@nicqueen125]

@@Foxglove963 okay thank you for getting back to me

Bizarre robotic owl is tremendous . Am I dreaming or was she from Scotland?

[@olgiiina]

What type of printer do you use?

[@TheeBawdyMonkey]

Depending on the inks or dyes used when preparing a transfer negative, black is not necessarily the best option. It’s about blocking UV specifically, not visible light.

[@halledagley2451]

What kind of printmaking paper did you use for these? I love how smooth they look vs using watercolor paper

[@nataliecronin8826]

it looks like watercolor paper to me

[@sibelsenyuz4060]

YOU THE BEST THANK YOU

[@pollybradsssh]

can you link the cyanotype liquids you used please

[@brandonhamilton370]

How do you print on packing tape? That sounds like it would get caught as a misfeed in any printer...

[@primordialcreative]

I’ll get a tutorial on that up later this week!

[@BAYATOTE]

when I look at Photographer's Formula, the New Cyanotype kit doesn't say if it contains both the A & B...Are they sold separately or both in the kit. Appreciate your response and your KZbin

[@rebeccasalinas852]

What is the brand of color pencils you use?

[@kashmirajhaveri548]

Thank you for this video - very interesting. If I use a negative/positive film that is smaller than the paper, would the edges of the film show?

RM's album, "Indigo" brought me here 💙

[@TheMattmoomoo]

What kind of fabric would work best? Cotton ?

[@sharynbachleda2024]

Natural fibers work well! I've had good results with cotton (cutting up an old t-shirt) and I've heard linen and silk is good too! Keep in mind when coating fabric, you need a lot more chemicals than paper! And it's easier to mix it in a glass, not a paper plate. And please wear gloves! I've made this mistake before and it's not the best to let this chemical seep into your skin!

[@laraaitken4698]

Do you have to use sunlight for the cyanotype or can you use a enlarger like you would with regular black and white prints?

[@primordialcreative]

Sunlight!

[@laraaitken4698]

@@primordialcreative okay damn, was only wondering because I don't exactly live in an area were there's a lot of sunlight, or any good moments to go outside as it rains majority of the time

[@outofmyheadintomybed]

Lara Aitken you can most likely use a UV light indoors too !!

[@user-ju8sy2pd8h]

Is that the 500ml liquids?

[@kidnickles101]

Can I burn the image with purple UV light set up ?

[@kidnickles101]

Also would I be able to just mix both bottles together into a container and store in a dark place and use whenever needed ?

[@mexico53ify]

Really great content...please reduce /remove the background music...it's really distracting and reduces your communication.

[@Autorange888]

No, Van Dyke prints are not made by an enlarger, the emulsion is too slow for that.

[@B.Duncan]

The music you're talking over makes it difficult to hear what you're saying

[@WabuhWabuh]

this sun will dye anything with color. you dont need any ink...

[@marelynespeaks]

So I did pick color images and just turned them to black and white and changed the contrast so it’s very black and white but the images do not show and come out mostly bled out in light - does this mean I should “invert” them ? Meaning turning the white to black and vice versa ?
