Cyanatype

For my cyanatype I decided to do a picture of my doggy, Dante. In order for a cyanatype to work you need to you need to mix 1mm and another 1mm of 2 different chemicals together and spread it onto water colour paper. When the paper is dry you place your acetate onto the paper in a metal container and leave it the sun for around 20 minutes. When your paper turns a deep blue you wash it with water and another chemical until the whole picture is blue. The reason I chose a cyanatype for my first project is because I love the look of it. I like how it makes the picture old looking and I also like how it's blue and there are no other colours in it.
