Possibly the best Cyanotype video on TH-cam. Simple. Straight to the point. You have numbers for each recipe. the demonstration was great. The print turned out really good. You can see it go from blue to black before your eyes. Its the video I go back to whenever I haven't done it in awhile.
is this a hobby? or a home based operation. If not all, but Municipalities do require permit to operate if you are using chemicals. The reason being it is safe for the community and the residuals into the drainage.
To address the chemical disposal and interesting back woods way that I did here in this video. 1. It is safe to dump down the drain with diluted amounts of water. I washed my print with 1800 ml water plus the rinse of a garden hose. Lots of water is happening. This is a iron based process as well. Although one chemical is named Potassium Ferricyanide . Cyanide is a scary word here, but it is cyanide bonded to iron. You would need to expose this chemical to extreme temperatures 300+ and very harsh acids for this to become toxic causing the iron is split from the cyanide therefore creating gas. Im never dumping fully concentrated chemical down drains or in grass. This is one of the least toxic photographic process out there.
This video is extremely old and I prefer to remain a introverted artist who speaks through images. I do not like to be videotaped. This video was created for a class assignment and I never imaged it to have this many eyes on me. If you are implying in your comments as a means to troll, make fun, or examine how I speak/ mis spoke. I can assure you there is no room for that here. This is a learning tool. I stand against disempowerment . I alone do not have all the answers. You must do YOUR research practice and fail to find your way yourself. I am not perfect, but I do have passion for photography and it’s historic practices and my experimental approaches. Not here to offend please practice kindness. I have gone on to expand on this process to this day where glass is my substrate. Still unclear on your “encouragement” to use google ? I recommend finding literature to confirm this process yourself. I have since graduated with my MFA. I have years of research in this process and practice before and after this video was created.
Your technique is very good.Your print came out very good too. but the image in itself is not very good. I think the drawing itself has to be good, specially in print making. But it's only me. just my opinion. I enjoyed watching your video.
beautiful print! I went to the grad photography program at the University of Houston. I loved doing cyanotypes. Wish I would have done more of them but I was on another journey with mixed media and photography. Wish you well
Thanks for the excellent video - the best I've seen on making cyanotypes! Can you please tell me what difference the hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate make in the process (as other tutorials I've seen have skipped these stages)? Also, what printer/media did you use to make the digital negative? The resulting print was incredible!
I want to learn cyanotype processing. This is the first tutorials I watched and it is awesome and very creative. you have simplified the process. Thanks Lauren.
Hey Lauren, love the tones you got on these prints. I use hydrogen peroxide to reverse paper negatives into “prints” - I’ll try using it like you are. Are you using 3% hydrogen peroxide or something stronger before you dilute it with water?
First white tray: hydrogen peroxide "4 or 5 capfuls to 200 ml water". Red tray: sodium carbonate, a "sprinkle" or "pinch" of sodium carbonate to 1 liter distilled water. Second white tray (from pot): brewed black tea.
Super informative and this is something that i've been wanting to do for a long time. I know that this video was uploaded 2 years ago but @Lauren please upload more videos. I know that at the time of the recording you mentioned you were in school. What else can you teach us? Look forward in hearing from you soon.
American is getting so hard to understand these day's .In just 40-50 years it has become cartoon like. Can you see Doris day sounding like that ?.As to the video yes interesting but would have benefited from being in a dark room (no wind noise).
Hi, I don't understand how you do you do to coat the paper with the cyanotype solution outdoors ? It's immediately exposed at the sun and no available.
Something that I would like to point out is that the solutions don't become light sensitive when you mix them, the FAC (Ferric ammonium citrate) is light sensitive all the time but by mixing it with the other solution (potassium ferricyanide) it becomes blue were light hits it. Therefore the FAC should be kept away from strong light sources regardless if its mixed or not with the other solution. That's why you can coat paper with the FAC expose it and then later "develop" by applying the other solution.
Brilliant video. Wondering why your negative has a pink tone to it? A lot of the sites I've looked through use either a plain B&W or they are printed with yellow tint after having a specific cyanotype tone curve applied. Wondered as the print you produced was fantastic in its tonal range. Regards from the UK, Kirk
Great job. What a doll. Sweet apron too!
This is the best Tutorial yet and I have viewed almost 75 videos. Thank you for showing the company that you showing where your products are from.

I not an expert on this craft. It did look just fine and nice when it was blue.
I’m not sure what you are trying to troll ?
I encourage to use googles because these are chemicals.

Ok, thank you
Great demonstration, help me a lot!

Thanks for the tutorial video. Should the chemicals be rinsed directly into the soil like that?
Very good, very informative - but I've no idea what the print is meant to be a photo of.
Great Video, but you just pour the chemical-contaminated water into the garden?????
hello i know its kinda late but can I use coffee instead of tea for toning? Thank you! Great video by the way !
Why didn't you wear gloves when using the processing chemicals ? Lol
Im dying to see the negative you used.
Informative video thank you 🙌🏿
Very Good result ! thanks for sharing
Nice video! Is the point of bleaching the print to lighten the intense blue while preserving the white areas? Sorry if dumb question.
that was an awesome explanation and best result I've seen so far, thank you fro sharing!
Absolutely incredible guide thank you! I wanted to try tea toning but didn't the best approach.
Thanks for the excellent video - the best I've seen on making cyanotypes!

Excellent work and you are a great presenter. :-)
What kind of frame you'r useing
what name of tray?
Hey Lauren, love the tones you got on these prints. I use hydrogen peroxide to reverse paper negatives into “prints” - I’ll try using it like you are. Are you using 3% hydrogen peroxide or something stronger before you dilute it with water?
Very nice..but wish she had shown dry finished project. And I could not tell what the picture was of!
Hi everyone!! Sorry I can`t understand what she put on the boxes. Could someone write it for me? I speak a foring languague.
First white tray: hydrogen peroxide "4 or 5 capfuls to 200 ml water". Red tray: sodium carbonate, a "sprinkle" or "pinch" of sodium carbonate to 1 liter distilled water. Second white tray (from pot): brewed black tea.
@@bryantr5058 thank you so much. God bess you💞
maybe use Rit dye for other colors like pink red or purple.
Excellent video! I would like to see more from your channel :)
Thanks for taking the time to teach us, very cool
How did you make your digital negative?

lovely birds chirpin
So the sodium carbonate gives brighter whites? What a wonderful video you made
Great video. Love your fast paintbrush technique! Pity you haven't uploaded any more videos. This was really interesting!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Scotland
Chemicals....just say chemicals!
bravo belle vidéo très intéressante . CORDIALEMENT FABRICE
Love your video! Can you tell me what kind of paper you are using?
Thanks for this tutorial!

That was the most Aries tutorial I’ve ever seen
