I created the above 50 artworks in the 1st quarter of 2014, and the following 50 preliminary sketches were used to create them. I create my artworks in darkness on photographic paper. Once the photographic paper is exposed and processed it is complete. I cannot adjust anything afterward or go back over an area as a painter would on canvas. So I work with many pieces of photo paper before completing a final artwork. These are known as preliminary sketches or test strips. Preliminary Sketch: A quick or less detailed painting often made as a preliminary study; a brief general account or presentation. I often create preliminary sketches in preparation for larger, more detailed works of art. Test Strip: A method of calculating exposure in photographic printing. A number of exposures are given to smaller pieces of paper, over specific areas of the image to help judge the exposure in the final print. I use test strips to calculate exposure times as well as to determine colors and color combinations. I sell my preliminary sketches to offer my original art affordably for everyone. I am offering the following preliminary sketches for $20, $40, and $60 +$5 shipping anywhere in the US or free pick-up locally (Bend or Portland). This is an excellent way to collect Artwork by Natasha Bacca or get great gifts for loved ones! Each piece is an original so get the one-and-only piece while you can! If you want to purchase one simply be the first person to post a comment with the # and it is yours! 5" x 7" preliminary sketches = $20 |
