__________________________________
Both Gray Willow 1 and Gray Willow 2 are framed in matching 31 x 25 inch white wood frames with a 1.5" deep side profile.
This is a very difficult color to achieve with the cyanotype process, a bluish-gray and cream combination. It’s best seen in person. The gray is soft a cool slate gray and the leaves are a warm pale cream rather than cold white. That is because cotton watercolor paper is a warm ivory color and not super white.
Although this looks like a screen print or woodcut, it is actually a form of 19th-century photography. The normal color of a cyanotype (blueprint) is dark blue and white. However, this slate gray and cream cyanotype was made by dramatically altering the ratio of two photo chemicals in the mix before brushing it on the paper.
