Loading... Please wait..."Beauty and the Beast Castle" by Peter and Harrison Ellenshaw
The lyrical image of such a grand castle touched by the lightness of winter snow is captured here most deftly with the Ellenshaw touch. The lavender light adds a beauty and grandeur to this brilliant hand crafted image.
The chiarograph (pronounced "keer-ograph") is a fusion of traditional printmaking and the latest digital technology. First, a substrata of white sizing (paint) is applied by hand to black heavy weight paper stock. Then, the image is printed onto this white sizing. The characteristic of the medium is unique because each piece has a unique pattern onto which the image adheres. Thus, no two prints are identical. The beauty of this media is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking and painting.
