Beyond the Blueprint – Exploring Neutral tones with Van Dyke Brown Photography
Join in this hands-on, informative workshop with local artist John Allen on December 14 at 12 pm for an exploration involving contact printing with neutral tones In this workshop, students will explore the historic contact printing process of Van Dyke Brown. Named for its distinctive, rich shade of brown (resembling a paint color named for Flemish Baroque painter Anthony van Dyck), this class will explore a contact printing process similar to cyanotype. However, due to its distinct chemical process, Van Dyke Brown results in prints that look much more like sepia-toned photographs or toned
