More tests (okay, I'm having fun)

-
Just trying some more test images for size and pixelization...

This was an assignment from the 2DII class I took at DCAD. It was one of the toughest and one of the best classes I've ever taken. For this, we had to take objects of different colors and set them up under two different colored lights with different temps.

For this next assignment, we had to paint the same set-up twice---once under a slightly warm light (incandescent), and again under a slightly cool light (daylight). The object of this class wasn't creativity. It was all about color--what happens to it when a color is laid upon it or reflected off of it, etc. Also, what colors do to one another when placed adjacent to one another. The instructor was Teresa Vadala and the class was great.

Granted, I'm having some formatting problems here. Why is my "preview post" format so different from what I actually get?

Thank you so much and it is indeed good to be up and running here. It looks like it's going to be easier to post artwork here than on myspace. I could just learn how to work with html I guess, but here I don't need to know all of that stuff! FINALLY!!

Thanks Mike, and it was a great class. I don't know what happened with blogger. I'm just glad they changed things in such a way that I can now access this blog.

Great stuff!!

Why thank you Scott. Don't know if you did know, but you know now, so if you forget you know, I'll remind you, then we'll both know I paint. Or did at one time. It'll happen again one of these days.

Gumoil

This gumoil tutorial has been updated. Please click here  for the updated version. Thanks for visiting ! Gumoil print on Arches Platine, 1:2.5 sensitizer solution, single pass (one and done) print, wiped clean at sink, cleared in sodium metabisulphite (printed area approx. 12"x16") I have been working with the gumoil process for about two and a half years. I was introduced to it during an advanced alternative processes workshop in Santa Fe lead by my friend and go to mentor for all things alt pro, Christopher James. One of Christopher's assistants for the workshop was Cotton Miller, an MFA student at the time, and adjunct professor in the photography program at Lesley University's College of Art and Design. Christopher asked Cotton to teach one of the quick, pop-up style lessons we often get when everyone is settling into whatever they want to work on. I rarely miss one because they frequently introduce me to something I might not consider trying otherwise...

Gumoil 2.0

9x17 inches, Arches Platine, 1:3 plus 30% dist. water gum solution, ("green" curve and transparency) (Since I work in several different mediums, I am planning on shifting most of my work with gumoil to a blog devoted entirely to that process. the new blog is called  The Gumoil Blog .) (This gumoil tutorial is an update to the previous one and has new information regarding gum bichromate solutions and transparency types and the custom curves I’ve made for myself for them. I have cut out some of the extraneous blog talk in an effort to be clearer and more concise.) I first heard about the gumoil process in July of 2013. I was introduced to it during an advanced alternative processes workshop led by my friend and go-to mentor for all things alt pro, Christopher James. C hristopher asked Cotton Miller, his assistant for the workshop, to do a quick gumoil demonstration because he had become quite familiar with this elusive process while using it for some of his...

Alternative Camera Assignment

-
Image
It took me a couple of weeks to find the time to put this work up.  It's just been one assignment after another--busy busy busy.  This one was based on using "alternative cameras".  This was of course an experiment that forces the photographer to consider what he or she is photographing based on what the camera "sees" or how it functions, quirks and all.  God knows I have a plethora of what would be considered alternative cameras because I've been using them extensively for the past few years, but in the spirit of the assignment, I decided to get a new camera--a couple actually.  I loaded each one with films of differing speeds because there is no other way of adjusting for changing light.  One of the quirks that these cameras have concerns framing problems.  It's similar to that of most Diana cameras, where the viewfinder is a little off in relation to what the lens sees.  This camera is WAY off, and as a result, there is too much space to the right of ...
