Medieval village in disguise...


This is one of the 4 images after transformation of the Dry point print, which was originally a Medieval village. It had been transformed on Photoshop and printed on fine art paper.
Unfortunately I haven't kept a record of the print. I repainted over it and this is the result. The aim of repainting in water colour over the computer print was to overcome the flatness of the image. The paper took the water colour very well and the printer ink did not dissolve.
This image gives a totally different feeling from that of the original and evokes a Spring garden party more than the rather mysterious aura of the old houses in the other pictures.
I enjoyed the repainting of the image. It was a totally new experience since I have never retouched a digital print. It was like creating my own painting and unifying the image with my own colours.
