About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered aquatint print. Summer light infuses the Live Oaks in a park near the town of Sonoma, CA. Wheat colored grasses rustle lightly in the brease. This is a great example of McMillan's work. He takes his inspiration from the natural world and spends a large part of each year backpacking and hiking through the mountains, beaches and deserts that make up the Northwest United States and California where he has lived his entire life. His aquatints are often relate directly to photos he takes on these trips. Born in Berkeley, California, on December 21, 1949, he was raised in a home that had a sweeping view of the San Francisco Bay. This scene kindled his interest in landscape and was one of his earliest drawing subjects. Stephen McMillans etchings and aquatint prints capture the landscapes of California and Washington, and continue to be his primary inspiration. McMillan received a BFA from University of California, Santa Cruz, and studied sculpture for one year at Hornsey College of Art in London. In 1969, he was introduced to etching. He has since focused on creating aquatint etchings of wilderness landscapes drawn freehand from the photographs he takes.

Artwork shipped carefully rolled and packaged in a tube. WHAT IS A CYANOTYPE? The cyanotype (a.k.a. sun-print) process is one of the oldest in the history of photography, dating back to the 1840's. Cyanotypes were then made famous by Anna Atkins, considered the first female photographer. Inspired by nature, we feel the need to look back at a craft that is handmade, analogue, and using an all-natural light source: the sun. Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative to get the best image quality. Finally, the print is washed and fixed with water to stop the reaction and prevent fading. What you get is an amazing, royal blue image...
