Multi toned Cyanotype print on paper. Cyanotype uses two Iron based solutions that are brushed onto paper creating a light sensitive medium for printing.I have used my hand cut stencils and details from my photographs taken on walks up Beinn Ruadh, Inverchapel to formalise and print the composition.Using a combination of bleaching and toning during each exposure reveals several layers of colours from deep dark blues and tonal greys.
