Bratel-Cyanotype-Research

This is a negative version of an image. The artist of this Cyanotype is Liz Fraire. Liz decided to print her cyanotype piece onto regular paper. Her imagery incorporates a sense of stillness that speaks to me. How you can take a typical every day scene and make it into something that speaks the heart based on composition and the pure beauty of light. Liz used leading lines to draw the eyes all throughout the piece making you first notice the front of the picture then working your way towards the back. She used the contrast of colors to brighten and darken her area and showed her use to shadows. She used the rule of the thirds to make the main object appear off to the left of the page. This image was done by Jenny Bowers. This piece was printed on watercolor paper. This is using an actual object and shining light around the object producing this Cyanotype. It's almost like heaven looking at the glow is almost heavenly in a way. I know that it wasn't meant to happen, that the light that exposed the picture caused the object to be almost see through but that's what I like about it. That the object is almost see through and it makes it appealing. The artist used leading lines to show the eyes where to go in the picture. She made it compositionally sound by cutting off part of the object leading our eyes off the page. The artist that created this image was a man named Gustavo Castilla. He decided to put the image on fabric. He took an image of a flower and zoomed in on it making the picture fill the frame. That makes it easier to see the intricate lines and details within the flower. I like there's contrast in the piece and that there's not just one color throughout. It makes the picture appealing to look at, almost mesmorizing as you look at the flower and get lost in the petals.
