Ways to use Brushed Cyanotype
Brushed Cyanotype questions
- What is a cyanotype?
- One of the earliest photographic processes, using iron salts that turn deep Prussian blue on exposure to ultraviolet light. It was used for architectural blueprints and for the first photographically illustrated book, of British algae.
- Why are the edges irregular?
- Because the light-sensitive solution is brushed onto paper by hand, so coverage stops wherever the brush did. Those uneven edges are the most recognisable sign of a hand-made cyanotype rather than a blue filter.
