Prismacolor pencils
After being almost exclusively digital for nearly a decade, I was
strongly craving the feel of pencil on paper again. Still, I also love the
digital work, so I wanted to find a way to bring them both together. "Floral
Bouquet" is a result of one such inter-merging experiment.
It began with a digital photograph
of some decorative paper flowers. In my paint program, I worked with gamma
and brightening to fade the photo immensely, leaving the faintest of impressions.
Then it was printed, in its very pale state. I proceeded to enjoy myself
with the hard copy, using my treasured Prismacolors for the first time in
ages. When I was satisfied with the work, the pencil image was scanned back
into the computer.
A very convoluted and strange process, but it was also rather cool.
