Here is how SunArt Paper works:
Use your SunArt Paper kit outdoors on a sunny or an overcast day, or even in a sunny window. DO NOT expose the SunArt Paper to sunlight until Step 3.
Step 1: Select item(s) such as leaves, flowers or objects found around the house. (Keys are a fun item to use!) Arrange a composition that will fit the size of the paper. You can even use negatives but it can take up to 2 hours for exposure.
Step 2: Assemble in this order:
- Surface or cardboard for the bottom
- SunArt Paper - blue side up (keep away from direct sunlight during assembly)
- Chosen items
- Acrylic sheet which holds objects in place
Step 3: Expose to sunlight until the SunArt Paper turns a very light blue. This takes approximately 1-5 minutes, depending on sunlight. Stay away from shadows.
Step 4: Once the SunArt Paper has turned a very light blue, carefully slide the paper out from the backing board and your objects. Quickly rinse the SunArt Paper with water for about one minute. The image will turn lighter during this process. To obtain darker, more intense blue tones, simply add a few drops of lemon juice to a tray of water and use it to rinse your exposed paper.
Step 5: Place the rinsed SunArt Paper on a flat surface or paper towels to dry. See your beautiful solar photograph darken to a richer blue as the SunArt Paper dries. To flatten, simply place the completely dried sheet under a book for 1-2 days. Do no try to flatten your print before it is completely dry.
