Ellen Scobie | Verosimile

I'm very pleased ... well, okay, really excited, totally stoked, so pumped -- where was I reading that your slang will give away your age ; ) - who said chuffed? ... anyways, about the new landscapes I'm working on! I've gone back to a process I was using in about 2004 when I first got interested in making the photomontages. I combine a textured surface with bits of photographs and coloured patches to create the composition. I'm getting some really great, painterly texture. It doesn't surprise me that the further I actually get from working with paint the more I want to capture the texture of the paintbrush strokes! Here are some in-progress images.
