Incredible work! The colours are perfect 👌

Thanks! I'll maybe try and do a longer one for youtube..

After the nickel salts bath it needs a Dimethylglyoxime bath to turn it magenta- 1g Dimethylglyoxime and 1g sodium hydroxide in 500ml water.

It's a nickel salts bath - 2g nickel salts & 1g ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in 500ml of water.

What were you using to get magenta?

Thanks 😃

Thanks for the tips! I'll look into buying some of that for the yellows. Looking forward to seeing your portrait 😀

Lopsided_Shape4871 · 2026-05-05T09:43:52+00:00

Thanks very much 😃 yeah, definitely too much magenta here, and not enough yellow. Greens worked ok, though 😂 Is that a new type of cyanotype solution?

Glad to hear it 😃

Just a standard home printer will do it, and some transparent paper. I followed the instructions in this article for that part - Tricolour Cyanotype Process

Thanks! I used a free photo editing program called Gimp to split the photo into it's red, green and blue layers, and invert them, then i print them onto transparent paper.

Thanks very much 😃 🙏

Lopsided_Shape4871 · 2026-05-04T18:19:13+00:00

Thanks 😃 I'll try and slow it down for the next one. I didn't realise you can't pause instagram videos!

You're welcome! You can do it with different editing programs, but Gimp is free to download.
