What a great tutorial! I thought it was thrilling to see the results you achieved, fascinating that you can achieve something so creative and unique without photography and using stems and flowers you just collect on a walk and adding colour and effects from things you might happen to have in the kitchen cupboard! Very inspiring and will aim to give this a try. Thank you!
Thanks so much Barb, really appreciate your comments. Yes you really should have a go it's such a creative process for a little outlay really. Enjoy 👍
This was a wonderful, thorough tutorial! I bought all the supplies last week, I'm going to give it a try today! Thank you!
Ah this is such a lovely and helpful video, thank you! I discovered cyanotypes looking at Linda McCartney's series of sunprints and since the UK lockdown I've been having a go! Absolutely love it. Have yet to try wet cyanotypes but now I know how I shall have a go today.
Thank you Sophie, glad to be of help 👍👍
Awesome video. Cant wait to order my supplies and get started! Great instructions and clear information. I feel confident I can do this after watching you. Thanks
Thank you Jill...it's good fun
Wonderful tutorial!! Can you please make another one? It’s fascinating how the modifiers shift the pigment.
I thought I'd mastered cyanotype's until I seen the wet process. So keen to get some happening during isolation, thank you for this tutorial! They look amazing!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I much prefer the wet process, it can give you some great unpredictable results which is half the fun of it 👍
Your amazing! I love how in-depth you go. Thanks so much for all this :) Lovely prints!
Thank you Harriet
I only just found this today and have never thought of doing “wet” cyanotypes.
I have the Jacquard cyanotype chemicals but have never used them. I’ve only used pre-prepared paper.
I love your experimental approach to printing and I’ve been inspired to take the next step! I was particularly taken by the very first print featured in the gallery of images at the end of your TH-cam video.
Thank you Sarah, glad you enjoyed it
Just ordered the supplies. Love to experiment...I paint in watercolor and love to sew so this should be fun. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy having a go, you don't always know what you'll get but that's half the fun 👍
Nice work. Both the cyanotypes and the video. Thanks
Thank you
Thank you, I've got the courage to try cyanotypes now, it was nice to see all the steps laid out!
Thank you Denise, glad you enjoyed it 👍
I absolutely love what you did with these materials
Thank you 👍
Thank you Glenys, this is the best and most informative tutorial I've seen on Wet Cyanotypes.
Thank you Les
I cannot wait to try this process out with my daughters and our home ed craft group. Thank you
Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing!
They came out beautifully! I love the randomness of this process.
I’ve been experimenting with cyanotypes and since I stumbled across photos of the wet technique I was wondering how to achieve it.
You are welcome Elle
Thank you so much! Your video helped...
Thank you Barbara
Thanks Glenys. I always love your videos and courses because you explain things so clearly and in detail😊👍
Thank you
Have you been working the night shift in my house? You had the same chemicals, same paper, same sponge and same brushes.
😊👍
This is great, thanks so much for making this video, much enjoyed. I'm getting back into cyanotypes, was looking for a video like this to get a feel for wet cyanotypes. Love your work!
Thank you, you are welcome
Great work! Inspiring!
Thank you
Thank you for some new ideas about what all you can add to the papers.
Thank you for watching Anne
Brilliant, need to give this a go! Great little inspiring video.
Cheers Sylvia, thanks for having a watch 😁👍
muy bueno tu video ..estoy haciendo experiencias..sobre tela....algunas me gustan como salen ..voy hacer con los modificadores que usaste muchas gracias
Gracias Gladys, contenta de que haya sido útil
Lots of good info. Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome
Thanks so much for showing us the technique. Loved your results.👍👍
Thank you for watching Chris 👍👍
Thank you very much for your video demonstration it was very helpful. This is something I definitely would like to have a go at.
Thank you Victoria, you should it's good fun
Thank you-- very inspiring. Have wanted to try this for several years but life gets in the way. Will give it a go now!
Thank you Carol
Thank you, it's really interesting to learn additional exciting things that can be done with cyanotypes. Very inspiring :-)
Thanks for watching Andrea 👍
Thankyou so much what a great tutorial.
Thank you
Beautiful work! Thank you 😊
Thank you
Great tutorial, thanks very much! :)
Welcome Louise
I didn't realize you could toss on Tumeric. Brillant.
You can put anything you want on if you think it will react...I've found turmeric is a good one for colour 👍
interesting results!
i loved those cyanotypes!
Thank you Rislik
Thank you very much for such a great video.
Thank you Pam
thanks for this great video. I am going to have a go at this.
Have fun!
Thank you! this was a great video to watch
Thank you Connie
Beautiful!
Thank you Nikira 👍
Thank you. Very interesting.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Therese
Le amo, es lo máximo, gracias por compartir 💗🌺
Thank you very much for a great tutorial, I'm off to amazon to get the chemicals to give this a go
Great...thanks Graeme...it's good fun even if you don't always know what you might get 👍
Fantastic!
Thank you Dan
Very interesting.
👍
Great video
Thank you Steve👍
Thank you so much amazing process. I have bought a uv lamp mine seems to take an hour. Can you tell me what lamp you have wattage etc. many thanks. Lovely tutorial
Hi Gill, thank you. I don't use my lamp for wet cyanotypes as they usually work better with a good blast of uv sunlight and need to stay out for at least an hour to get good results. The lamp wattage on mine is only 13w but I only use it for dry cyanotypes using transparency negatives, in this case I will do a test strip first to see what exposure is needed but it is never as long as an hour, usually between 10-20 minutes.
@@GlenysGarnett Many thanks for your reply, I thought I saw in this video you put a wet one under yr uv lamp. My mistake. I did do a dry one in 20 mins today under the lamp. I bought it as winter is coming to Australia. Thanks for lovely informative videos.
Chemicals ordered - look forward to having a go. With my luck however this maybe the only sun we get all year :)
Great...I'm sure you'll be okay 🤣👍
Hi! Great video. can you tell me where you got your Uv light? thank you!! :D
Hi Jeannine - got it from here cyanotype.co.uk/product/uv-lamp-for-alternative-photography
Great detailed video and lovely results. I would be interested to know how you got the orange bits in the lefthand image, thank you
Thank you Bridget 👍 I think it was Turmeric, I found that you need to plenty on otherwise the effect is washed away, like most things with this process, you never know what you might get 😊
@@GlenysGarnett thank you very much for your reply, Glenys. Fascinating process.
how long in the sun? is it a different timing from the UV light? thanks
You can leave them in the sun as long as you want, they won't overexpose if they are wet cyanotypes.
Thank you
Welcome Jonathon 👍
What is the plastic wrap for ?
Thank you for this great tutorial. I take it leave it overnight makes color from materials and chemicals deeper?
Thank you Christina. The blues especially usually darken due to the oxidisation process but sometime that can the originalcolour, it really depends on the paper or material you use, glad to be of help
Glenys, thanks for taking time to reply. Can you please clarify: in your message you say the blues esp darken, so I take it any other colors (ie tumeric, chili) and or effects (bubbles, salt) will become more pronounced too? Thank you. Just subscribed and looking forward to more great content! :)
@@GlenysGarnett can you please clarify? Please see my last comment. Tysm
The effects don't necessarily change in colour or become more pronounced, it tends to be the blue areas that are more concentrated with the chemical, as this is what the oxidation effects. But it is an unpredictable process, thus why I scan or photograph the images during the process to capture the changes.
As I said the other colours don't necessarily change....it is a chemical process and the results are entirely dependent on the conditions, the amounts you are using, time outside etc. It will be different for everyone so I can't give a definitive answer.
bonjour , je cherchais un tutoriel sur le cyanotype , le vôtre est super bien expliqué malgré la barrière de la langue , merci beaucoup .
merci beaucop Brigitte, content d'avoir aimé 👍
Can you tell me how much water you add to the bottles please? Loved the tutorial.
If you mean the Cyanotype chemicals....you just fill them to the top, full instructions when you get them Rebecca
Thanks for this helpful video. I love the results and your experimental approach! Question: I've mixed and used the chemicals, but was under the impression that you have to let the paper "set" for at least 24 hours. From you video, it seems like you immediately started working on the paper. Since it's wet cyanotype, maybe it works better that way?
sorry I missed your comment Kathy, just seen it. You can dry them but the effect is not the same. You get the reactions by using it wet and you don't have to worry too much about exposure times.
Hello, Your videos are wonderful! I have learned so much and continue to apply to my art. I have a question about cyanotypes. I thought about adding color by painting in on completed cyanotypes. I was wondering what I would use to do that. What do you think?
thanks Nina
Thank you Nina. I've not done it myself but I would have thought watercolour or acrylic would work fine or even alcohol inks depending on the paper you've used. Always worth an experiment👍
Beautiful work! I'd like to ask what part do you wet before exposing to sunlight/uv lamp? Do you wet the paper or the plastic wrap what you put directly over the paper? I'd love to try it! Thank you, greetings from Buenos Aires!
Thank you Pia....the chemical is left wet on then paper and sometimes I use the plastic wrap dry, if I use it wet I usually put some soap suds on the wrap or put soap suds directly on to the surface and lay then plastic wrap over.
How did you get the yellow?
Turmeric...you might have to be quite generous with it for it to come through
Wonderful tutorial Glenys and inspired me to have a go with this over the weekend, and am loving it! I am struggling to get soap bubbles to expose though, as they seem to pop soon after starting the exposure. I have tried laying them directly onto the paper then covering with glass and also covering the plant material with clingfilm , then soap bubbles then glass, but neither way is working at the moment. Does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong please?
Thank you Mary glad you enjoyed it. I usually wet the cling film put plenty of suds on the it and then lay that over the top. I think because that crinkles all the cling film it keeps some of the bubbles contained and you also get some good texture from the crinkles. Hope that helps
@@GlenysGarnett Many thanks Glenys, I will give it a go.
@@marygardiner4912 okay
I love your cyanotypes! could you please tell me if you dried the paper after coating? How did you get these brownish spots on ur cyanotypes? Best, Dorota
Hi thank you Dorota, no I don't dry the paper, I use it wet which means you can get a reaction from the products you apply. I think the brownish spots are a combination of using some of the products like vinegar and turmeric etc. It's hard to tell what reaction you will get as the process is not always predictable.
Dear Glenys, so cool and brilliant, detailed explanation. May i bother you with some questions.. We did our first steps on this technique with veeeery different results in colours.
sometimes it is dark blue (just right), sometimes it is softer, and we also managed to have a blank sheet of paper after rinsing. The main problem we are facing is which colour should the paper have until it is finished?.. due to different strong sunlight, we cannot work with "time until finished".. so we thaught about "which colour should the paper have".. jaquard says, "overexposure tends to underexposure".. and we therefore where afraid to keep it in the sun tooo long.
so the question, after seeing you exposing it to UV light for 15 minutes (!!) is, can we overexpose? furthermore, is it possible that due to us washing it (almost) immediately after exposing, that this might be our issue?.. .. would be great to have your thaughts on this.. Thanks a bunch, take care. best regards,
Okay 👍 there is no given colour I can suggest to guide, mainly because you are using the wet process and the results can be unpredictable, and it can depend on how much other stuff you throw on like vinegar which can dilute the chemical. I think you may be underexposing because you need the chemicals to react with everything you are putting on the surface. I have found it hard to overexpose with wet cyanotype and have left them out on occasion for a couple of days.
My minimum would be at least 1hour to give them a good exposure unless you have really strong sun, you are probably not leaving them long enough. Jacquard instructions will be referring to dry cyanotype and you can overexpose these.
@@GlenysGarnett Thanks so much for your quick reply. i will give it another shot.
@@freetree9 👍
@glenys garnett, thank you for this! When you say you leave them overnight, is that in a light tight place? I am wondering, as I know the sensitiser will tend to go darker and darker and you can lose detail.
Thank you Francesca, no I just bring them inside and then stick them out again next day. It depends also on how much of the other bits you throw on them. I've found spraying diluted vinegar on them sometimes reduces the amount of dark blue but it is very hit and miss.
Hello Glenys - thank you for the video - it is really interesting and we have ordered you book - looks challenging and very complete - a lot to learn : small concern : I have a drying problem - when I put the transparant on de sheet with the leaves (or other items : flowers: transparancy) - and after 24h I take the transparancy off but underneath it is not dry yet- I used glossy photograph paper because it is quite strong - I put vinager, salt and other things on the sheet and it gives great results but the print of the flower of leaves of the transparancy is disturbed because it did not dry...thank you for giving me a little advice - could it be that between the sheet and the plastic you leave a air-space for circulation to improve drying? -
Doesn't need to be dry Rita, often it will get condensation on the glass or plastic. You can leave them as long as you want but I tend to leave mine for around 4 hours. You won't get a perfect outline because of the wetness and especially if you put a lot of other stuff on them, it is just the nature of the process. Also certain things will react differently with the chemical so it is often a lot of trial and error.
Se tivesse como traduzir em? Belo trabalhos tudo haver comigo!!
Thanks for the tutorial... So, do you know what coloration each of the additives give i.e. salt, vinegar, baking soda etc...?
Thanks Eric. It often depends on amount, baking powder will bleach it white and sprinkling salt gives a nice white mottling effect. Vinegar or acidic reactions will reduce the darkening of the blues but it can vary. Turmeric, paprika etc will be the same as the spice. It's a chemical reaction so it can vary each time. Hope that helps
Great works! May I know what is the material of the orange color?
Thanks Grace....it's Turmeric
V jakém poměru s vodou se smíchají chemikálie A a B? Děkuji předem za odpověď.
follow the instructions you get with the chemicals but generally it is equal amounts
I have recently started the wet cyanotype process and love it! I learned a lot from your video and am so glad I came across it. I want to have the option of using a uv light, but I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out what I actually need. I’m in the US, and when I do a search online for uv light, the results are usually small sanitizing lights, nail polish drying lights or black lights. I Don’t think any of those are right for this application. Can you tell me more about the light you purchased? I went to the website you provided a link for, but there isn’t much information or any good images for me to work with to get clues about what I should be looking for. Sorry for the rambling message, but anything you can share to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Hi...The lamp I got from cyanotype.co.uk uses a UV exposure bulb, so I guess if you can get hold of some of these in the states you should be able to use them. I know some people use tanning lamps but you can leave cyanotypes out even when it is cloudy, though they take longer to expose.
screenprintworld.co.uk/uv-exposure-bulb
Uv SMD 5050 LED Strip will also work
@@GlenysGarnett thanks Glenys. really enjoyed your video, very informative indeed. I’ve done regular cyanotypes on fabric and paper a few times now. I’ve got my first wet cyanotypes out in today’s sunshine, but have also ordered the UV lamp as this will become something I want to do regularly!
Thank you
@@annejackson2967 you are welcome Anne glad you have got sorted 👍
Very nice, beautiful finished prints! Have you tried this on fabric?
Thank you. No not tried on fabric yet
Great video. On your clip frame does it have to be glass or can it be clear acrylic?
Hi Juan, there is no problem using acrylic, mine are quite old, so that's why they are glass 👍
Great informative video! What do you spray on the turmeric powder to get the desired yellow effect? I seem to have missed it in the video. Do you spray the turmeric powder with white vinegar and water or just water?
I use water and vinegar
Good morning, how much water did you add for both the solutions? I bought these products but it hasn't worked well. My solution remains a vivid yellow. Do you think that's because I added too Much water or because I didn't shake enough? Thanks for your guidance.
Hi Jenn, you don't add any water at all to your chemical solution, just follow the instructions for mixing which is usually equal parts. Your solution when mixed will be a yellowy green and will look this colour when you apply it. Once under UV or sunlight it will go blue. Just paint a bit on a small test piece and put it outside, you will see it change immediately.
@@GlenysGarnett I know but I bought the Jacquard cyanotype kit. And on the bottles it is said that I need to add water and shake the bottles. So I'm not sure now..
@@jennguillen6608 I see, I misunderstood you. As long you followed the instructions it should be okay. You then need to mix a small amount from each bottle to make the solution, about 30ml in total will cover about 6 sheets A4.
@@GlenysGarnett im going to try again. On the bottles They don't specify the amount of water... Let's see
I like your Work by the way ❤️
@@jennguillen6608 You probably have it down pat by now, but fill each bottle of the Jaquard solutions with water. Shake well and leave for 24 hours. After that pour some ftom each bottle (equal amounts) into a separate container. A little goes a long way. Eg. 1 (one) tablespoon from each bottle.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you 👍
What if it's cloudy outside? Will it still work?
Yes it will be fine, just might need to leave it out longer
You added more chemicals but never mention it..... ¬¬
Sorry...think I added turmeric and salt on these 👍
