Cyanotype Coloured Animal Portraits with Artist David Lush
Ideal for beginners, this class starts with a brief introduction to the cyanotype process, its origins and the ways artists have used it to generate artwork. The image of the animal which you have selected either from your own collection or one provided by the tutor, will be transformed into a negative for use in this session. You will then use a process to create a light sensitive solution and then coat it on the paper.

In the afternoon, the tutor will demonstrate how pigments can be used to colour the images. Coloured pencils, pastels, water colours or coffee and tea stains can be used to begin the colouring process. There is opportunity to print multiple images and select the best as a unique masterpiece.

Cyanotype Coloured Animal Portraits with Artist David Lush
Ideal for beginners, this class starts with a brief introduction to the cyanotype process, its origins and the ways artists have used it to generate artwork. The image of the animal which you have selected either from your own collection or one provided by the tutor, will be transformed into a negative for use in this session. You will then use a process to create a light sensitive solution and then coat it on the paper. You will then expose the animal negatives to UV light to create a beautiful blue and white image of the animal. In the afternoon, the tutor will demonstrate how pigments can be used to colour the images. Coloured pencils, pastels, water colours or coffee and tea stains can be used to begin the colouring process. There is opportunity to print multiple images and select the best as a unique masterpiece.
David Lush gained an MA in Creative Practice at the University of Cumbria in 2021. He is a qualified teacher and practicing artist who delivers workshops dealing with alternative photographic processes such as cyanotype printing. This class has been programmed to coincide with Great Print 9 in the main Gallery
