a bit of digital manipulation
digital collage - Vivien Blackburn
This is a very simple digital collage, combining some of the rocks from the long panoramic view of Sennen Cove with the marbling *analogue* collage shown earlier, made using my marbling experiments.
I used the clone tool and multiple layers to add to blank areas and change things a little. Then the burn and dodge tools to lighten and darken areas for emphasis and the eraser to delete unwanted areas and redefine rock shapes with new edges.
Finally I flattened the layers.
I could possibly develop this into an abstract in the future, on a large canvas. moving it on not simply copying it, so when my printer recovers from its nervous breakdown I'll print it off and put it in my sketchbook for future reference.
I thought the patterns went quite well together. What do you think?

have you got photoshop or something similar like Artweaver (free)? just experiment with the clone tool and eraser.
I know the feeling!
And I see you mention a freebie called Artweaver...I think I'll give that a whirl. Too many vet bills for non-freebies right now!
Rackham-esque - mmmm I hadn't thought about it but I can see exactly what you mean :>)

I haven't really used Artweaver and if you have photoshop that's better - but for those who don't I'm assured Artweaver is very good.
