Cyanotype allows for creations using sunlight. It is a process that uses a mixture of ferric salts that reacts to UV rays, tinting the surface. A magical, simple, and quick activity with an immediate result!
How does it work? Place recognizable silhouette objects (plants, jewelry, items) on the paper, then expose it to sunlight. Once this step is completed, rinse the sheet with fresh water to reveal the exposed areas that will tint Prussian blue, while the silhouettes of the objects will appear in negative on the support.
Good to know: The exposure time for cyanotype in sunlight varies by season and UV index:
- Summer (UV index > 6): from 1 to 10 minutes.
- Spring and autumn (UV index between 3 and 6): from 5 to 30 minutes.
- Winter (UV index < 3): from 10 minutes to over an hour.
