Details! #cyanotype #animalart

Love this job!
A close up of ghostly white ferns in a sea of blue. You can really see the texture of the watercolour paper and in the top corner tje shock of indogo blue pencil depictong the stoat’s black tail Here you can see better the curve of that indigo tail as well as the back paw of the stoat. Its always fascinating to see how the brush strokes of cyanotype solution look so close to the pencil lines. It is so hard getting them to stay neat-ish while painting in the dark!

Last of the trio! A stoat in summer colours! #sciart #stoat!

This was Part 3 of an experiment in which I tested wether water temperature would make a difference to #cyanotype colours (it didnt for me, but do let me know if you’ve had any other results!!) I think they all came out pretty good! >:3
A soat in delicate summer colours leaps over a ghostly white fern. Tail tucked and eyes bright, focused on some hidden prey. Its paws are oversized and chunky and it seems to fly over a sea of cyanotype blue! I had so muxh fun making this! Btw, as a thankyou for reading this far, if you comment with a blueberry emoji I might give you something cool over DM’s smiley face.

Details of the spring ermine! Just love how many different blues you can see in the cyanotype! Was super fun making this one! Im so proud haha! ❄️✨🌿 #sciart
Details of the spring ermine! The blue sea of cyanotype print looks extra vibrant at this tilted angle. The white sillhouette of the fern in cyanotype is as delicate as lace. A close up of the ermine’s paw. Ermines are also stoats If you didnt know! Thats just their name in their winter coats! In the picture you see the ghostly impression of a fern surrounded in blue. And a delicately drawn outline of a white and brown mottled paw in blue coloured pencil. Yet another shade of blue surrounds thin impressions of ferns in cynaotype. You see the sketched curve of the ermine’s back and in amongst the ferns is a small white heart! Love for wildlife can be found everwhere.

Part 2! #cyanotype! Ermine in her spring transition. See alt text for more details! #wildlifeart ! #ermine
A happy looking ermine stands in a sea of blue. She’s in her transitional coat as the weather warms. White winter fur just starting to give way to a warm summer brown. Behind her are the white silhouettes of ferns and grasses in flower. Made with a cyanotype print of real plants! and blue coloured pencil!

Details!
An ermine’s tail in blue pencil surrounded by the deep rich blue of cyanotype. You can see the ghostly form of heather (Calluna vulgaris) behind the tail and the rough texture of the paper.
