Blue Botanicals: Cyanotype Painting Workshop

Transform sunlight, plants, and paint into stunning art in this exciting, hands-on workshop with Tram Colwin! Explore the magic of cyanotype, a camera-less photographic process that uses UV light to create beautiful blue-and-white prints—perfect for showcasing botanical designs on paper.
This two-part workshop begins with creating your cyanotype prints, from testing exposure to developing your own designs using real plants. Then, take your creations to the next level by adding vibrant watercolor accents to your paper prints.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, this workshop is a fun and rewarding way to explore a timeless technique and craft one-of-a-kind works of art. Registration includes all materials for the workshop.
