Cyanotype of Dahlias on Arches Platine paper.

Image size approx 7x 5.5 inches. Unframed print.

This series of works is based on a beautiful collection of Dahlias from Skylark Flower Company in West Berkshire. All their flowers are grown in the UK, with care for the environment.

I make each cyanotype print by hand coating cotton rag paper with a specially mixed light sensitive solution in very dim lighting. I then let it dry overnight. I expose it under a large negative and a piece of glass, usually the sun. I then rinse the paper in water and the blue image emerges.

Each print is slightly different due to the brushstrokes and other variations in the handmade process.

This print is offered under the Artist Support Pledge where an artist pledges to buy the work of another artist once a certain level of sales have been made.

This print is signed and dated on the back.
