Image Art Workshop: Creative Ways to Embellish & Enhance Photographic Images [Paperback]

Paula Guhin (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book teaches the reader to think of a photograph as a canvas for a wide range of artistic manipulation and coloring techniques. Once upon a time, you hesitated to even take scissors to a photo (even an imperfect one) because if you lost its negative, you’d also lose that moment in time forever. In this day of digital images and photo printers for the home computer, photographs are easily duplicated, so you never have to be concerned about preserving printed photos. You can cut, color, collage, and camouflage to your heart’s content. The photo is now an art medium that can be altered physically or digitally to create all kinds of effects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Ideas for Photographs, January 6, 2010

This review is from: Image Art Workshop: Creative Ways to Embellish & Enhance Photographic Images (Paperback)

There are 142 pages, including Intro, Index and Artist's Gallary, in this book. In between are 21 sections/ideas for projects.
Each section contains a list of materials & tools, tips & pointers from Paula, and photos showing projects, beginning and end.
Not all of the techniques interest me, however, I'm going to try at least 13 of them.
Even if I don't try them all, this is a good "how to" and "reference" book that I'll keep on hand.
It is apparent to me that Paula put a huge amount of time and effort into this book. My opinion is that its worth buying.

Lots and lots of different techniques. Samples and step by step instructions on how to procede. Something new to try with each new project I start. Highly recommend it. If you are having an artist block, this book will open you up.
