William Vanscoy's work shows at the gallery I also showed at in Ashland. Luckily his work came after my opening because it is far superior in everyway and I love it! The prints are huge and amazing in person!!
http://www.vanscoyphotography.com/galleries_01a_vert.html William Vanscoy's personal vision is revealed through a unique marriage of technology, alchemy and art. A native of California and a graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography, he has spent the last thirty years as a successful commercial and scenic photographer. Now combining the ethereal qualities of translucent oil pigments with the reality of large format black and white images, he reveals an intrinsic vision of both the natural and man made landscapes.
Oil Paint on Gelatin Silver
Oil Paint on Gelatin Silver is a mixed media process that is as simple as it sounds. The surface of black and white photographic paper is coated with silver bromide and silver halide particles suspended in a gelatin solution. Applying oil paint to its surface is a technique almost as old as photography itself.
I could really get into something like this!
