  • Me, artist Jo Howell, having a small conversation about paper choices for alternative photographic process cyanotype printmaking. If you have any questions about the process you'd like me to cover, let me know! I'm going to try to do a few of these whilst lockdown uk continues. Stay home! Make some art!

    Hey, from Michigan. Finding the right paper for your type of art is a challenge. It must be acid free, strong in water, on the smoother order, no coatings, heavier stock, and as low cost as possible. Nice video, thanks

    Hello from Vermont! I'm creating cyanotypes and your uploads are extremely helpful. I'm going to try Dr. Ware's "New Cyanotype" formula. I'll tell you how that works out - it involves grinding the ingredients and super-fussy instructions. But, when it's done you have a one-bottle formula that reacts faster with darker, purer blue. At least, that's what they say! Stay safe, make cyanotypes, and enjoy Life. I insist! 😀

      @@rohitjain6616 Hello from Vermont! Because of an automobile accident, I haven't been able to mix and use Dr. Ware's new formula. The website Photographers Formulary sells it and allows you download and read the instructions. It is a bit complicated. The chemicals need to be mixed and filtered according to the instructions, but the result is said to be superior to the original 1842 "recipe."
      Have a safe and wonderful new year. 🐧

      @@JoHowell Dear Cyano-Jo! My accident was very dramatic. I've never had a broken bone - now I do! I was on my bicycle when a car hit me and sped away, leaving me face down in the street and unable to move because of a fractured pelvis and a broken foot and unbelievable pain. The first two people to come to my aid were medical personnel. Talk about having good luck! 😬 This was two months ago. I'm now mostly off my crutches and able to lumber around for short spells like Dr. Frankenstein's monster, but without his balletic grace. So, yeah - 2020 was the best year EVER. 😵
      I'm drawing penguins and women in long dresses. I'm thinking of publishing a book titled "Beauty and the Beak."
      Stay happy and safe and Loved - and let's trade cyanotypes next year! 🐧🐧🐧
