| Digraph 8 by Danuta Antas, 2010 |
More than 20 years ago, during my fine art studies, I learnt printmaking techniques, including intaglio and relief ones. I particularly liked aquatint and a mixture of etching and aquatint for their tonality and softness. Later on, while working as an Art teacher I had to give up printmaking for some personal reasons. Yet, my love to this wonderful world of black and white tones, textures, lines is still alive and finds its way in a form of what I call DIGRAPHY - digital graphics.
Like in printmaking, I love experimenting with digital photography and editing it in way that follow texture, line, light and tones of aquatint. I wonder what you think of this kind of technique, or maybe you have your own one, developed specifically by you. Share it with us in the comments!
This is awsome Danuta. I did not know technique it is really but it is plendid. Your black and whites are superbs.

Hi Suzanne:) Thank you so very much for a kind comment:) You know, the technique I have invented to show what I have most loved about printing; textures, light and b and w shades shining with silver blinks. I really miss printing; it was actually the technique designed for me. But:) ... instead of missing what I can't have now, I try to do the best use of things available:)
DeleteI am so happy you like my b and white images:)
Cheers,
Danka
