I went wandering along the Yarra River a little while ago,
and took along some paper, pastels and crayons in my satchel.
I was looking for interesting subjects to Frottage.
Frottage is a bit of a fancy name for a rubbing.
This is crayon with a watercolour wash.
My photo of a cool looking tree covered in moss.
My tree then when through some Photoshop treatment.
I adjusted the levels, exposure and gamma correction.
Then I added a conte crayon filter.
The images were then merged together, but I had to then adjust the levels on the rubbing for it to make a bolder impact. From here I then used Illustrator for the final touches.
I gave the image a title and added some shapes with the ellipse tool and multiplied them.
They were then made transparent to show the image behind.
Hi Alison, my visits to your blog have been few and far between of late but loved having a look at your new art blog. It's really interesting what you are doing. I look forward to seeing more of your creations
