Happy Wax on Wednesdays !
I have been working a lot with cyanotypes and various alternative photo processes in the studio lately . Cyanotypes have to be my favorite because once the paper is developed it can become  every shade of my favorite color :)
Picture
This week I compared 5 different papers for the cyanotype process using the same exposer time , wash process etc. I used a mix of traditional watercolor papers and fine art print paper for photographs. My comparison consisted of what I call the 3Ds (Depth of color, Detail, and Durability of the paper ) .

Encaustic can be added to cyanotypes to create a beautiful finish both mat or high gloss. In this weeks video I will show both looks can add depth to the cyanotype once mounted to panels.

​​Supplies I used this week:
Each week I list the supplies I used in the video here on the blog for you so that you can see and easily find the items used for that week's  technique . 
If you purchase items from the links provided it sometimes generates a few cents in commission  which goes right back in to creating videos for you on the youtube channel. It  does not raise the cost for you in any way, and is the same link you would find on a regular amazon prime search . Thank you so much!  Also , although the photos here can help you easily find the product . I also recommend that you look at your local art /hobby store to make sure you are getting the lowest price. Sometimes with weekly 40% off coupons basic items can be found at a better price.

Happy Creating !

Lovely! Thank you! What do you use to “polish” the wax at the end of the video?

What type of waxes did you use to polish your cyanotypes? I loved the look. Also did you use a hair dryer to melt the wax? I have cold wax to buff the surface but have not tried it yet.

Appreciated,

Valerie Burke
