i had posted digital shots of these "oilgraphs" on facebook but now they are dry enough to scan and post here...
they are lith prints, glued with archival glue to wood, then covered in oil paints of various colors. once that is done, i begin removing the paint with various things..paper towel, news paper, etc..until i am happy with the look, or until i give up....
Awesome! Awesome video too. You know, I had some idea kind of like this, after having done about 20 or 30 bromoils. And then I saw the videos on "oil printing" which is another bichromate sensitized thing. And I thought maybe a normal print might provide a good substrate and here there's someone already doing this idea. And what an awesome effect too. Well, this is going down on my ever increasing list of things to do. Thanks so much for sharing these!
give it a try moose.. it is something that is completely open to personal interpretation...like kevin told me, my attempts are TOTALLY different than what he does..i have put my own "spin" on the technique...every attempt is different and some end up complete failures but i have learned to accept that over the years...
This is wonderful and inspiring work, it has really grabbed my attention and I am definitely going to give it a try. It certainly gives the image a very pictoralist feel which I adore. Thanks for sharing the ideas, lovely, lovely stuff.
