Looking for a way to change up your cyanotype prints and make your work unique?

Maybe you’re tired of standard blue and white cyanotypes, or perhaps you want to create a warmer earthy or natural vibe. Maybe you want to create a vintage sepia tone look?

I’ve felt the same way – some images just don’t feel right in blue! Toning can completely change the mood of a piece making it warmer, richer, and earthier. Toned prints can be a toasty brown, rich taupe, gold, shades of olive, or even a deep blue-black. Highlights tint ivory, yellow, peach, or soft pink (love that avocado toner! Be sure to peek at the swatches in the photos.)

In “Toning Cyanotypes With Easy Homemade Toners” you’ll learn to make natural toners and use them to give your prints a whole new look and feel. You’ll make a set of 18 toned swatches to record color results and use them for reference as you tone your own prints.

• Learn how easy it is to make beautiful toners and tone your blueprints at home

• Expand your cyanotype palette with toners to add warmth, mood, or a vintage look

• Recharge your creative practice by learning a new technique

• Gather toner ingredients from your own kitchen and neighborhood

This 44-minute instructional video includes:

• clear, step-by-step instructions for making and using toners

• simple toner “recipes” that use natural materials

• a complete materials checklist

• technique demos by an experienced teaching artist

• examples of toned prints illustrating different effects

Who is this class good for?
You’ll get the most out of this video if you have experience printing cyanotypes. If you’re a complete beginner start with the Blue Magic: Cyanotype Basics video.

If you’ve made cyanotypes before, you may be wondering if you can figure this out on your own. You can – I did! But the video will save you hours of hunting, research, trial, and error. As an experienced artist and art educator, I guide you past the pitfalls.

Do you need special equipment or a darkroom?
Toning cyanotypes is completely safe and you can definitely do this at home. You don’t need a darkroom or studio, just a dim room for preparing your cyanotypes. You’ll also need a stove and some big pots for simmering toner ingredients. Nothing fancy!
