As you all know, one of my greatest pleasures on my laptop is creating digital art from my photos. My desire presently is to take my photography into new realms.
As an artist one needs to grow and challenge one’s self along the way.
Anchorage’s Library as any library brings in new books on a regular basis. A thrill beyond anything is when I located a book on a subject matter that takes my type of art into a new arena for me. Right now I’m awaiting 10 new purchased artsy books to arrive. My mouth drools just at the thought!
In the meantime two books I’ve discovered fascinate me! Both are fine examples of where I desire my art to go and also give me new ideas on how to expand my artist skills.
Two books from 2007 that I highly recommend:
Mixed Emulsions/altered art techniques for photographic imagery - by Angela Cartwright
Digital Photo Art/beginner’s guide to – by Theresa Airey
Then I found a brand new published book 2010 that grabbed me by the ears because it also deals with using Photoshop to create art.
Digital Art Revolution/creating fine art with photoshop by Scott Ligon
So the next few weeks I’ll be trying some new techniques that each of these books discuss.
