Throughout the day, I will be demonstrating the hand coloring process I use on my Van Dyke prints.
Limited Edition VanDyke and Cyanotype work, and digital prints, both framed or matted only, will be available, along with individually printed notecards.
VanDyke prints are a historical non-camera photographic contact printing process. It was patented in Germany in 1895 by Arndt and Troost and was named after Flemish painter Sir Anthony van Dyke (1750-1825) due to his use of rich brown colors in his work.
The process is based on UV light, using either UV light bulbs or sunshine, that causes a change in a light sensitive emulsion brushed onto paper or other substrates. Creating each print requires 7 steps in the darkroom.
My first step is to create a B&W negative to make the prints. In the darkroom, the paper is coated with a light sensitive silver-based solution, making sure the paper is evenly covered. After the paper dries, the negative and the sensitized paper are pressed together under glass and exposed to UV light. The finished prints can be hand colored using colored pencils or watercolor.
The process for Cyanotype prints is similar but uses a different light sensitive emulsion.
