A brief fun in blue today with cyanotype prints on various watercolor papers from a very smooth to very rough. What took me so long to get to snow and winter themed cyanotype prints despite that being the signature season of Western New York? Looking back through my Cyanotypes gallery, a lot of them are from my travels, which may explain that at least partially.

For these prints that started off with delicate detail, the smooth watercolor won out.
