The same frame Both Gray Willow I and Gray Willow II.
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.
Although this looks like a block print or screen print it is actually a form of 19th century photography called a cyanotype.
“Cyan” means blue in Greek. However I dramatically altered the normal ratios of the two chemicals which comprise the photo emulsion, yielding not the traditional dark blue and white but a pale gray-green and white. This is a very soft subtle pastel hue like the celadon glaze often used on Japanese pottery.
This was not made with ink and a printing press. All my botanical cyanotypes are unique monoprints, having been made with fresh cut plants which wilted soon afterwards. There is no block or metal plate which can be inked and re-used.
This pale green bamboo monotype is ever so slightly darker than the two in the diptych sold together of the same name "Celadon Bamboo Diptych" but is the same size.
