Another double printed cyanotype project for you today. The first picture is the cyanotype after I bleached it back a bit.
I then used some stencils of trees to make tree masks and cover up parts of the print with the masks - trying not only to arrange the trees nice but to 'save' some of the prettier parts of the print - and did another exposure.
The second picture is after the second exposure with the tree masks.
I then took the same stencils and used them to make trees in the background with colored pencils. (next time I will use lighter colors as they didn't show up as well as I envisioned after adding encaustic).
Fourth picture - I added several layers of encaustic (the print is mounted on a cradled wood panel - print was done on watercolor paper) and then added some trees in the foreground.
Lastly I added snow - 5th picture. And the last 4 pics is after I framed the painting in a black float frame
I had fun with this one - have 3 others in the works. Two of them already had the trees colored sort of the same as this one and a couple layers of wax on them, just waiting finishing. The last one I still have to add trees in the background with pencils so I am going to try and color then lighter so they might show up a bit more.
All for today - hope you are having a great day!!!
