Date: August 17 - 21, 2012 (5 Days)
Instructor: Sandra C. Davis
Level: Beginner and Beyond
Class Description: Learn the historic processes of gum bichromate printing and cyanotype. Photo-sensitized watercolor is brushed onto paper, upon which negatives are placed during exposure to ultraviolet light. The only processing required is rinsing in water to remove unexposed pigment. Multiple layers are made to produce a luminous combination of painting and photography. In this workshop, we will begin with digital captures or film negatives. Through the use of Photoshop, you will learn several ways to prepare the digital negatives that will be used for exposing the gum bichromate and cyanotype prints on different papers and materials. We will explore Tri-tone, CMYK, and duotone separation options.
