Altered Book Pages

I painted these pages a while ago. I had some left over paint from a project so I thought I would decorate some pages from a book. The doodles are also from a while ago, I added them to the pages digitally. You cannot see them very well on some pages as they are black doodles. There are insects on the first page and weird creatures on the second.

Can you tell what I have used here? It's rice, out of date and painted just to see how it would work.

 

Doodle Art

I've been on holiday in Italy and previous to that I had been busy so I don't have any new art. However I've got some that I have never shown before. This started off as a doodle on my android tablet. I transferred it to my computer where I made it into a repeating pattern and then used various filters to change it a little.

 

Altered Book

I've altered a few more pages in my Pissarro art book. Some of my art added to the pages was from a book that I did Doodlewash sketches in, the book fell apart so I thought I would select some images to alter more pages in this book.

I could see a landscape in this gelliprint so I outlined some parts with pen.

Rabbit, A Day at the Beach, Altered Adverts

A page from a sketchbook, I used markers for colouring.

Doodlewash - Beach, Strawberries and Hats.

Altered vintage adverts. The faces were painted on a tablet.

Happy Paint Party Friday

Whale and Frogs

I used a whale and frogs from the practice drawings to add them to some old digital backgrounds I had done years back.

Happy Holidays

Fish, Pattern and Cut Work Birds

The vintage fish picture is from the Naturalist Library, the lady from a vintage book of women apart from her head which I drew.

The pattern was created on my tablet.

I created the birds for my cutting machine, [KNK Zing Air] the bird on the left needs altering slightly as the eye was not joined to anything so fell out. I also ripped it a little when removing form the mat.

Altered Books [H of A and SSAJ]

Way back in 2012 I sorted some books for charity and this one [History of Art - Impressionism] was among them. The spine was disintegrating and not good enough to give away so I thought I would use it for art work. The idea was to be inspired by the art in it, although this didn't always work. The book is not finished but I keep having a dabble in it.

Another book I started altering in 2014 was a Somerset Studio art journal calendar from 2003. I'm just using one side and leaving the original art work on the other side. I've just taken photos of my art work this time.

Real plants under plastic

This one was a digital painting which I printed then cut up.

Altered Art History Book [2]

The spine was disintegrating and not good enough to give away so I thought I would use it for art work. The idea was to be inspired by the art in it, although this didn't always work.
