RE: 1st & 2nd Cyanotype

Hi Gu, I might add to Loris' last paragraph that cyanotype is self-masking.
Pooling of the emulsion on the paper will cause white blotches in the final
print as the emulsion doesn't expose down to paper base.

Maybe you use too much emulsion per coating area (it's hard to control this
with foam brushes). With good watercolor papers and when coating with glass
rod or moist magic brush, 0.2ml coating solution per 10 inch square is quite
sufficient, more than this will usually cause grainness, mottling, paper
fiber abrasion IME (and will take longer to dry)...
 
Nice first try BTW!
Keep going,
Loris.
