Clouds cyanotype prints


In my quest to create new cyanotype stencils, I thought that a good and nice option could be clouds. Based on the fact that the sky is blue, and cyanotype too, I thought it could be a good combination. In general I have seen a lot of people making cyanotype prints of clouds, so I started looking for pictures. Since I had never made this kind of prints before, it was also a new experience for me. The stencils are available here.

This is the stencil that I like the most, it is my favorite, the rest of the stencils are beautiful too, but whenever I do this kind of mini projects, when I make eight to put them for sale, there is a good chance that I will have a favorite. All the cyanotype prints are made with my A6 cyanotype kit.

In the following images you can see all the negatives together. I had to print it twice, as I got confused when editing the photos, and that made me print the photos in positive, so when I made the cyanotype, the clouds came out blue instead of white.

The process has been beautiful, I really like the result I have achieved and that is why they are now for sale, many times I do tests with different images, illustrations and other elements to see if they are beautiful or not, because there are some elements that when doing it in cyanotype are not so nice. In this case, as you can see in the pictures, the result is great.

I have recorded a short video showing the cyanotype prints, I leave it below, in my instagram and youtube you can find more videos of the whole process. Sometimes photographs are not enough to see how beautiful some prints are, and in video, or at least for me, you can see it better.
