van dyke brown

Lovely, warm brown tones dominate the images in Van Dyke Brown. 

​

Together with Cyanotpye, this is one of the easiest methods of alternative printing and one of the safest.  

​

Named after Anthony van Dyck, the method is coating a surface with a light sensitive liquid and exposing it to ultraviolet light. The print is washed with water, and hypo to keep the solutions in place.  Simple and very effective.

​

Digital images can be used for this technique and in this workshop you will learn how to choose images that are suitable, make a digital negative to bring out the best in your image, how to prepare the chemicals and coat the paper and how to expose your negative using a contact light box or daylight. 

​

You do not need to have film for this technique as you will be creating digital negatives from your digital files.

​

Everything is supplied by our studio including any protective wear required.

​

This workshop is fun and a great introduction to alternative processes.
