The weather is changing in the UK spring is round the corner and more warmer sunny days . So I collected a few pieces of plants to do some cyanotype printing in the weak winters sun here are the results .

I've learned so much from you, Stephen. I'm especially to have learned about layering from you. I love the depth this technique creates. You do beautiful work! AND you're a fine teacher as well. Many thanks to you.

Hello Stephen, Another wonderful video. I am from Athens Greece and we were on a lock down for almost a year due to Covid. During this challenging time I did the same with you, My husband and I everyday we went hiking for two hours in Ymitos', a very beautiful mountain close to where I live in Athens. I would take photos of nature and I would collect beautiful plants and branches and then I will incorporate them into my mixed media work. This was my Covid therapy, ha, ha. So when I saw your video; that you were saying that you were taking nature walks during Covid lock down the video resonated with me. Keep enjoying your walks and your beautiful art and let's hope that things will get better soon. If you like I can send you couple of my art work from my nature walks during Covid. lock down.

Fantastic video, thanks! Very informative and inspiring using processes I have not tried yet in Cyanotype. I’m inspired to have a go!

[@carolmuse5262]

Your art is very beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@MissT2U1]

I enjoyed watching! The cyanotype with the leaves turned out beautiful I especially love the detail, color and that they weren’t stark white. I’ve never tried vinegar (but will), I have used walnut ink and turmeric mixed with water.

[@roachbasher]

Thank you Much appreciated

[@am1500]

Absolument magnifique.

[@AshokKumar-pn5pz]

[@rachel_nie]

wow! such a fantastic idea with washing up liquid!!!! But what kind of acid did you use? 🤔 salicylic one?

[@renestevenson8119]

I love your beautiful ethereal images and videos!!! You’re inspirational. Did my first cyanotype today!!! Needs a bit more time in sun tomorrow. What do you use as your backing board?

[@helenlornablue8383]

Hi Stephen, thank you so much for doing these videos they're very clear with great instruction and the perfect length of time. Can I ask why you use the vinegar spray?

[@roachbasher]

The vinegar gives the print extra contrast and brings out other tones of colour like green and gold .every print is experimental have fun in using different substances and see what you achieve .

[@helenlornablue8383]

@@roachbasher thanks again I really appreciate it.

[@sylviastoler6598]

Oyé j'adore votre cuisine picturale et les résultats. HUM

[@wcwendychapman]

Hi Steve, I really enjoy these instructional videos and your creativity. I hope you do some more soon! A couple of questions for you. Would sheets of acrylic work as well as glass to flatten and hold the layers together? Do you recommend either sun or UV for making good cyanotypes? If UV which product do you like? Thanks again and how about a few more videos? Wendy

[@roachbasher]

Hi Wendy I think they would work yes

[@danielb.7165]

Wonderful video. Thank you. What if I had only 3% Peroxyde ? Should I use 1 full cup?

[@patriciavega9592]

wonderful video! May I know why you leave your work so long in the sun? when do you expose your work during the day?

[@nheasman3937]

Absolutley gorgeous! Do you use distilled or tap water?

[@roachbasher]

Tap water

[@lisabakke6912]

Wonderful! What do you have in the black spray bottle m? (in the video 3:37 / 14:47 )

[@DaisyEye]

Do you do anything after rubbing the wax on? Does it make the image sticky or does it harden? How does framing work with wax on the print? Thank you!

[@roachbasher]

No the print is not sticky and yes they are ok under glass in a frame I have quite a few that have been in a frame for a few yrs and are has good as new .

[@micaelalangeveldt7343]

Is it Possible to use Clear Perspex instead of glass ?

[@roachbasher]

Yes I use that sometimes

[@artiware]

Enthralling.
