Download or read book The Last Layer written by Bonny Pierce Lhotka and published by New Riders. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Last Layer–the follow-up to Digital Alchemy, her successful book on alternative printmaking techniques–Bonny Lhotka teaches how to make prints that take their inspiration from early printmaking processes. In this book, Lhotka shows readers step-by-step how to create modern-day versions of anthotypes, cyanotypes, tintypes, and daguerreotypes as well as platinum and carbon prints. She also reinvents the photogravure and Polaroid transfer processes and explores and explains groundbreaking techniques for combining digital images with traditional monotype, collograph, and etching press prints. By applying these classic techniques to modern images, readers will be able to recreate the look of historical printmaking techniques and explore the limits of their creative voice. Best of all, the only equipment required is a desktop inkjet printer that uses pigment inks, and a handful of readily available materials and supplies–not the toxic chemicals once required to perform these very same processes. Leveraging her training as a traditional painter and printmaker, Bonny Lhotka brings new innovations and inventions that combine the best of centuries of printmaking technique with modern technology to create unique works of art and photography. After years of experimentation and development, these new processes allow alternative photographers, traditional printer makers, and 21st century digital artists to express their creative voice in ways never before possible.

Download or read book Nash Editions written by Nash Editions and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2006-12-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the magnum opus on digital printing and the book to read before color calibrating your monitor or wondering about differences in pigmented and dye-based inks. With little in the way of “how-to,” the book focuses more on why and showcases eloquent photographs, including a heartbreakingly beautiful portrait of Marilyn Monroe, a naked World War II bomber tail gunner, and the inevitable “Emperor’s New Clothes” work. Equally heartbreaking for far different reasons is Henry Wilhelm’s essay “A History of Permanence” that includes a section called “The Totally Lost Kodacolor Era” that will leave you stunned by the corporate callousness that’s described. This book not only deserves to be on the bookshelf of anybody who cares about photography, it deserves to be read.
Download or read book How to Profit from the Art Print Market written by Barney Davey and published by BoldStar Communications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invaluable reference, this book provides insights, suggestions, examples, and resources intended to demystify the arcane world of art print marketing. Barney Davey has authored this handbook of practical advice to help visual artists succeed in the print market. The book is a result of his experiences and perspective culled from advising and observing leading art publishers and print artists in three decades. It details how artists can use the print market to take control of their career and create a profitable business putting their original work into prints. The wealth of benefits for visual artists in the print market include: secondary income from reproducing originals into prints; third stream income from licensing; greater awareness for their work; growing their collector base; diversifying their pricing and portfolio and keeping pace with demand for their originals. Given these advantages, it is surprising to find other business and marketing books for artists offer scant coverage of the print market. The paucity of print market information makes the book's insider insights priceless. Any visual artist with the desire to enjoy commercial success will find this book useful, inspiring and informative.
