Noted garden artist Elizabeth Murray's Painterly Photography has established itself as one of Pomegranate's tried-&- true jewels. Professional photographers & painters, as well as anyone who simply enjoys artistic expression through various media, can reap the benefits of Murray's instruction in & examples of "painterly photography." The sixty-six images reproduced here all began as Polaroid photographs that Murray took in France, Maine, & California. But she transformed them into wonderful photographic paintings by manipulating the still-fluid emulsion of the pictures with toothpicks & other instruments in a process she calls "painterly photography." To encourage the reader to become acquainted with his or her own "artist within," the book clearly explains what cameras, instruments, & materials to use to follow Murray's technique.Murray, Elizabeth is the author of 'Painterly Photography: Awakening the Artist Within - Elizabeth Murray - Hardcover' with ISBN 9781566406017 and ISBN 1566406013.
