This DIY Van Dyke kit lets you create sepia-toned prints on paper using a 19th-century photographic method. No darkroom required—just the kit and sunlight.

This kit lets you turn watercolour paper into photo-sensitive paper for making Van Dyke (Sepia) prints. Simply apply the mix following the kit instructions, place objects or photos on the paper, and expose it to sunlight to create unique brown-white images. The kit provides enough materials to treat about 20 x A4 sheets for Van Dyke, perfect for experimenting at home.
