A tinted cyanotype print of a wheel that is part of an old device I saw in an agricultural museum. This is my second attempt at hand-tinting the image. The first one failed; the paint was too thick. I used much more thinned down watercolour this time around.
Working With an Accident
This hand-tinted cyanotype began as an iPhone photograph of the centre of a bowl/plate that someone left out on their lawn. But when I made the digital negative to make the cyanotype contact print I forgot to invert it, so the negative was a positive.
I decided to go with it, and tired hand-tinting the “negative” cyanotype with watercolour pigments. Here is the results.
Note: instead of just scanning the print, I just took a photo of the entire thing.
