Artwork description:

Cyanotype - 13x19 hand printed on Saunders Waterford hotpress 300 gsm
This is a hand made print in an edition of 10.
Cyanotype is a process of combining two solution together to become light senstive. This solution is coated across watercolour paper, dried and then exposed with a large negative. Once fully exposed it is washed and dried.
You can watch a video on how I make one, click to my shop and then "Me at work".

Eucalyptus sideroxylon is a tall, single-trunked, evergreen tree with black deeply fissured bark on trunk and branches.

The leaves are a bluish grey colour on both sides and lanceolate to falcate in shape. When the sun is shining on the leaves the contrast between the dark bark and bluish leaves is quite stunning.

Materials used:

Watercolor paper 300gsm
