Valerie Meotti
This is a quick overview of some of my "digital" works. Original composite images are created in Photoshop from my working library of my photos and parts of my original artworks utilizing filters and tricks of the trade for effects. I reverse print to my Epson printer the image layer by layer onto a gloss medium and immediately flip the section onto a dampened high quality watercolor stock. Easier said than done as printer ink, paper stock and registration is always at play. I will scrap any that go amiss until I am pleased with the result. I will then hand embellish areas with added watercolor, charcoal, pencil and sometimes collage. Only one piece is produced as an original final. I use archival Epson inks and spray the piece with a UV protective spray. I have pieces hung that are over 20 yrs old that have not faded
Most originals are scanned and available as high resolution images on request for printing for your preferred fulfillment site or order through me by my preferred printer. Click through this slide show.
