Bangert Island Park

 

 

Bangert Island Park is located in St. Charles, Missouri.

 In the fall of 2013, I entered a contest for paint your

county parks. I got in however due to an email fault

on my part I didn't receive notification.

 

So the piece never showed. However I thought

I could use the piece to somewhat explain

the process. While I don't have all of the

images anymore, I do have a few.

 

So lets start by showing you the picture I took

in the park.

 

 

 

After I took the photo I went home, put it into the computer,

a little processing, and this is what I got.

 

 

 

 

 

Then to paint it. I placed paint onto glass, then printed

the image off onto canvas. For the first set I tried

too make eight by ten prints. I don't have the first set at the moment, they

are lost in the studio. They really didn't turn out well anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For my second attempt I used 16x20 inch canvases.

Again printing off glass.

 

For the final set I went to 24x36 inches. This time I put the paint

on the canvas. Then printed directly off the painting itself.

So the below picture is the plate for the third set and a painting.

 

 

 

 

 

This took a ton of paint.

I ran out of brown in less then five minutes.

Here is a detailed image to attempt to show you what it looks like up close.

 

 

 

 

  

Now to see the print. It was printed off the painting above onto

photo paper.

 

 

 

 

So apart from the first set this is almost start to finish of this project.

Let me know what you think as always.
