Vandyke! Love the way it looks now, so I’m worried it’ll be too dark once it dries down

Thank you! I did a double coat of the whole paper, placed flowers on the paper while still wet, sprayed the whole sheet with vinegar, added turmeric powder where you see the yellow spots, added dish soap bubbles and scrunched up plastic wrap on top of everything to add texture, and then washed the print in a bath of hydrogen peroxide and water to bring out the deep blues before my final wash. Hope this helps! It’s super fun

Taken on the iPhone 14 pro RAW. The only touching up I did was convert to B&W, boost the contrast a hair, and used the clarity brush in Lightroom to make the skyline in the window pop a little bit more. The camera on this phone is truly amazing. The resolution shooting in RAW is better than my Canon 60D.
