Art TRADER m a g a z i n e Walk-Through Art B y Sal Scheibe This new feature is going to take us through the creation of an ATC, from start to finish. There won’t be any step-by-step guide for readers, just the photos to show you how different artists create their art. It’s often elightening to see how others work and compare it to your own methods. A great way to pick up a few tips and tricks. This Artist Trading Card is based on a photo portait taken by Richard Avedon of Louise Nevelson, a very talented and skilled sculptor. I started off with a pencil sketch based on the photo reference. I then colored the card with base colors using Prismacolor markers. Various colors of Prismacolor pencils were used to capture shadows and highlights. I used a colorless blender to smooth out the color blends and my shading was built up in layers. I based the background on the style of Nevelson’s assemblage art. Unfortunately, sometimes Prismas don’t blend so well when there is a build up. I know I shouldn’t get to a build up but it happens. In this case, I used a matte finishing spray, let it dry, then added a bit more pencil work on top of the finish. Then I finished off with a Micron and gel pen for final highlights. -32-
Art TRADER m a g a z i n e Tracie Rozario: The Secret Side of Purple -33- Interview by Andrea Melione Tracie Rozario is best described as “Purple,” with all of the feelings and concepts this powerful color can evoke. She is mystical, fun, and bohemian with a true gypsy soul. Her fantasy work has both a light and dark side. She is the queen of her artistic domain and her confident pencil technique, ability in the altered arts and mixed media realms makes her a truly versatile artist. She is the owner of MailArtWorld.com, where she works as administrator and member of the Art Panel. Tell us a little about yourself. Tracie: I live on the sunny West Coast of Australia in the Perth Swan Valley with my husband, 3 children, 2 dogs and 2 cats. My hubby runs our family business while I take on the job of Domestic Engineer. When I’m not chasing the kids or looking after the household, I can usually be found doing something creative. I find it to be a little bit of ‘me’ time in my crazy and hectic days. That being said, most of my ‘me/creative’ time usually occurs between the hours of 9pm and 1am. My friends say I’m a little bit crazy (hopefully in a good way!) and somewhat of a hippie. The hippie part mostly comes from my dress style, I’d imagine, and that I am somewhat ethereal in nature. I love the fantasy realm and would say that is the theme I am most comfortable with. I am also quite infamous for my love (or crazy addiction) to the color purple. I am always trying new things and love the challenge of learning something new or pushing myself to create in a different way. So I often end up with more than one project on the go at once. I dabble in many areas: Parchment Craft, Encaustic Art, Jewelry–Making, and, more recently, Fused Glass, just to name a few.
