I hope to make a fourth book for Transient Landscape and it will feature fauna as opposed to all flora.
Here is one image I am working on and may include, it has taken me a long time to achieve this type of macro shot, ever since my university days in fact!
I am really pleased with it and hope it gives you pleasure.
As part of my ArtPractice I have been creating some hand coloured images.
For quite a while I have wanted to further investigate this technique so yesterday I attended a full day Hand Colouring Workshop.
The workshop was held at Goldstreet Studios in Trentham and was conducted by long time devotee of this lovely photographic artform, Jan Naismith.
Some of the things I learnt included the use of correct paper for the correct colouring technique is vital; photographs can be coloured with water colour, pastels and inks as well as the more traditional oils of old, and that each image could take hours to colour, depending on medium and artist’s imagination.
Well worth the day.
Sneak peak at one of my handmade books for upcoming exhibit at Post Office Artist space with other 3AMPs. In this book each image has been hand coloured with pastels and the covers are handmade recycled paper made by me.
I also dyed the paper using eucalyptus bark.
