Description
Beginnings was my first creation with my family SX-70 camera. I captured this photograph and began to work the emulsion in the photo to create this image. I finished the art and showed it to my wife. She wanted to know how I painted our kitchen nook on a photo?
Photo Impressionism* is a hand-applied technique on an original Polaroid photograph. The effect is created by the photographer shortly after taking a photograph with an SX-70 Polaroid camera using the "Time Zero" film. The photographer turns into an artist by using special tools to paint with the emulsion inside the photo envelope. The emulsion remains soft enough to be blended, mixed, and distorted by the artist. This effect creates a painted impressionistic look to each photograph.

*Note: The image has a SOFT focus; this is another part of the intended "Impressionism" effect. The original 3" x 3" square photograph is scanned at a very high resolution. Glenn then spends hours on each piece, inspecting all of the details in each area of the photo looking for imperfections and refining the color of the final product.
This contributes to the "painted" look of this photo. When produced, even in a large format and viewed at a normal distance, the art brings out a "Plein Air" style with its natural colors and free brush strokes.
Thank you for viewing my work.
