This is an 8 x 10 inch Gum Bichromate over Cyanotype contact printed on Canson Montval w/c paper. Only one b/w digital (laser)transparency was used for the three layer process. The first printing was cyanotype. The second print was made covering the entire print with B Sienna and then adding Thalo Red to the radishes and Sap Green to the pear. For the third print a dilute mixture of Charcoal Grey was used to pull everything together.
