Telling Your Story

Words and images often go together. But what can your imagination do when presented with a picture without words? What story can you build? Where does the picture take you? What's happening? What happened before the picture and what will happen next? See what you can write to tell a story about this picture, and send it to me.

 

With Nature's Help

Exploring Natural Pigments

About four months ago I began researching how to develop pigments made from the natural materials around me. Since then I've simmered, steeped, brewed, boiled, and ground materials such as beetroot, turmeric, blueberries, red cabbage, fruit teas, and coffee, all in an effort to extract the colors nature gave them. Some have been very successful (turmeric, beetroot, and granulated coffee) others not so much (chili pepper). I keep searching. But the practical application is another matter. Watercolor and gouache have been my first attempts. Here is a work executed with all-natural materials: blueberries, coffee, tea, beetroot, and turmeric. It's all been a bit of chemistry mixed with art.
