Photos can be transformed into very personal works of art in a variety of ways using a variety of materials, brushes, paint and printing presses.
But how does a photo get onto a canvas using manual techniques, or onto a piece of furniture as a decoration? How can it be embedded in the composition of a painting, or converted into a template for lithography, intaglio or screen printing?
This book offers a wealth of ideas and suggestions for creative play with photos and experiments with mixed media techniques, collages and wax. Some processes are very straightforward and can be carried out at home with little effort and simple means. Others are more complex, require certain materials and tools and some prior knowledge. Wherever possible, alternatives to the simple homemade version are offered. A practical work and ideas book for beginners and advanced users and for everyone who enjoys creative play with photos.
Contains chapters on the following topics:
- Cyanotype, albumen print, argyrotype, callitype and other analogue printing techniques
- Chlorophyll printing
- Photogram techniques
- Solarfast light colours
