Large Saturn Cyanotype on Heavy Watercolor Paper
Large Saturn Cyanotype on Heavy Watercolor Paper
I have really been pushing the capabilities of scale and I am now able to produce some of the largest cyanotypes I have ever made. These are some of our classics , yet revisited with impressive scale and richness that hasn’t been available until now. The Saturn is made with a large film negative on a massive custom sheet of Arches French watercolor paper (the best available 100% cotton paper) . The sheet is then carefully coated to ensure an even consistent color, dried and exposed under UV light causing the reaction to change the oxide solution into a deep blue. The cyanotype process is an old photographic process that predates silver based photography and was used with great effect on the field to document plant specimens . There is something alluring and calming with this color blue that it will add a beautiful calming touch to your environment. Measures: 45.5” x 57” with natural deckle edges
