• Creating Landscape Thumbnails That ARE NOT Cut Short

  A while back I linked a few landscape oriented works to thumbnails in my portfolio only to discover that they were cut short on the right. I like to show what my work looks like framed because it shows the viewer how it will appear when they buy it. :) I knew there had to be a way, and I found one! There may be a better, faster or more convenient way to do it, but for right now I think this is it. PART I Create a new folder on your computer and call it something easy to remember, like thumbnails, or any name that is easy for you to find. This is the first place you are going to store tiny images of your framed work. Click on the BUY/PREVIEW button for the landscape oriented work of art in your portfolio that you want display in the image description. Select Framed Print and chose your layout. I like the Large selection because it shows the work at it’s largest possible display. Select the frame and mat color you like. Once you are satisfied with the appearance of your framed work, RIGHT CLICK on the image and select the SAVE AS option. Save the thumbnail in the folder you created to store your thumbnail images. PART II Open the thumbnail in your photo editing software and resize it to 1 inch width. the height will default to approximately 0.89 inch or thereabout. Save the resized thumbnail. PART III You will need an off-site web location to save your thumbnails. I chose www.flikr.com because they have the option of making your files private and they have lots of free storage space. You won’t need much space since you are storing thumbnails and not full size images. Upload your thumbnail to your off-site web storage address. PART IV Here is where you need to have two tabs (or windows) open in your browser. Open your “art” tab in RedBubble and select the image where you want to place the thumbnail in the description of the work. Place your cursor in the description box where you want the image to appear. View your off-site thumbnail in the second tab (or window). Right Click on the thumbnail and select properties. Copy the web address. Now, Where your cursor is located do this: 1. type an exclamation point(!) / 2. right click and select “paste” / 3. type an exclamation point (!) That will place the small thumbnail on your page (keep your “edit image” open and don’t save yet) . Now if you want to link that small image to the BUY/PREVIEW page, do the following right next to the last exclamation point with no spaces: 4. RIGHT CLICK on BUY/PERVIEW and open in a new tab or window. / 5. Select FRAMED PRINT / 6. RIGHT CLICK on the web address at the top of the page and select COPY / 7. Go back to the tab or window where your open “edit image” is located and place the cursor at the end of the last exclamation point / 8. type a colon (:) and then right click and “paste” the web address there / 9. select “save changes” and then . . . TA DA you have inserted a linked image of your landscape oriented art and it fits perfectly. HERE IS WHAT THE FINAL LINKED IMAGE TEXT SHOULD LOOK LIKE (WITHOUT SPACES): !http://farm3.static.flickr.com /2254/2051375013_75e5217a47_m.jpg ! / :http ://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/1159808 Here’s the result: COMPANION PART V Do this for each photo link you want to place in your profile. I use this for landscape oriented cards and posters as well

  We all have artists on our watchlist that we think are wonderful, but who may not get the recognition they deserve or their work just gets passed by in the influx of daily work here on Redbubble. I would like to form a journal entry here that serves the purpose of bringing awareness and traffic to these underappreciated artists, so my proposal is that anyone who wished to come into this journal and post 1 or 2 links to artists on their watchlists whom they absolutely adore. This idea was originally begun by JULIE LANGFORD so please be sure to visit her journal HERE too for more amazing work! Also feel free to link to their images as well, and try not to repeat the same artists as have already been mentioned and promoted. This way we can get the word out about so many of these tremendous hidden talents here at Redbubble. I have two artists I would now like to introduce to you that I have on my watchlist: David Linkenauger and Shelley Spillenaar David is one of my fellow home state photographers and takes really nice waterscape images, and Shelley in my mmind has a wonderful eye and a keen sense of capturing the right moment with animals. Please go take a look at the wonderful work of these two artists, and if you like what you see be sure to tell them so and maybe even add them to your watchlist! Also, be sure to scan your own watchlist for someone who you think deserves more attention than they are currently getting in the world of Redbubble! Let’s make this a huge success!

  (get the soundtrack) I have just posted some images from my latest adventures in a light aircraft over the sea and landscape of Wales. This is my first real attempt to get some decent pictures from aloft – I haven’t worked out how to use my usual landscape cameras (Mamiya RB67 etc) from an aircraft (yet!) so these were taken with a little Canon digital IXUS. My two pilot friends, who are kind enough to allow me to tag along, really want to just fly low, high, fast, between things, over things, under things (!), dodging seagulls, kites and hang-gliders, and generally tear about at a lot of strange angles doing impersonations of WWII fighter pilots. ‘What…you want to go up!!? (this said as we are doing 220 mph 50feet above the waves of Cardigan Bay) – I took a few ‘aerial’ photos looking up at people on the shore! / Er…..anyone remember how to start it? / Tail end Charlie………is that a thunderstorm? / Sweet!! ps. Does anyone know if there is an aerial photography group on RB?

  I’m sure you have noticed the change of pace in my art work in the last few days…I have added some Oriental work in ink on paper….some peaceful landscapes in the typical Chinese style of free brush painting in black ink, with touches of colour, where I felt it was needed. Chinese painting is part of a 3000 year old culture, and in experimenting with these works, I had to throw out what I know about western style painting, and start to think about painting in a more linear way. These are absolutely my first paintings in this style. I decided I wanted to paint as much as I could in the traditional way, and so I learned to grind my own ink, had stamps carved with my name in Chinese and set to work. It was hard at first to come to terms with the idea that once you put the brush to paper, that was it…no drawing first, no erasing or changing the mark in any way. However, I was thrilled to be able to stop thinking about western style perspective, and get on with mountains and rocks which have always been my favourite subject matter. Once I had mastered the techniques, the whole experience was very enjoyable, and from time to time I return to it, as a break from my usual style of work….it is a real feeling of freedom from western style restrictions in landscape painting, and I love that. It is as much about what you decide to include as what you decide to omit. If you are interested in learning more about this fascinating art I can continue to add to this journal….there are a few basic techniques, you will need to know before you start creating your own works of art…..how to grind ink [not really necessary], but fun. What materials to use, how to paint in the Chinese way etc…additionally, you may just want to learn how to use inks on rice paper in order to create work that’s not necessarily in the Chinese style.. However I will only continue if there is sufficient interest….by clicking on the painting below, you will be linked to my website, and illustrations of tools you will need.

  As I start to write this entry, for some reason, the sound of “We are the Champions” by Queen is running around in my head…why? I have no idea. Unless it means that all RedBubblers are champions? So “my friends” I write on regardless of the “earworms” To paint in the Chinese way, you will need the “Four Treasures” paper [zhi], brushes [bi], inksticks [mo] and ink stones [yan]....I am not Chinese, so I hope I got the spelling right. You can also use bottled permanent ink, but I have a real fondness for the traditional ink stick, [more about ink later] plus it is much blacker, and has the authentic look of an Oriental painting. I must stress at this point, that the materials are extremely inexpensive, [read cheap] and thank goodness, as no other brushes will work….put away the watercolour brushes and buy only Chinese brushes…Japanese brushes will not work either. / The brushes, paper and ink will cost just a few dollars, especially if you go to a Chinese art supply shop….failing that, your regular art supply shop should stock them as well. A word or two about paper, which though it’s commonly called “rice paper”, is mostly made from bamboo pulp…you can get it with some sizing, which helps to control the ink, but why not throw caution to the winds and buy it unsized, which is what I used in all my paintings. / It may be a little frustrating to use at first, but you might discover as I did, that loss of control of paint can be a good thing, leading to hitherto unimagined heights of creativity. The brush is of paramount importance…everything depends on it….some of those available today were the same ones used in the Ming Dynasty [1368-1664] / Get three….purists will say you need only one….just don’t tell them what I said….. a soft goat or sheep hair, usually white, for broad washes, a harder brush, dark brown, for you got it, those all important calligraphy lines, and maybe a third with a blend of both kind of hairs. / I personally went mad and bought a whole bunch as I was intoxicated with the prices and thought somebody had made a dreadful mistake, and put the wrong numbers on. / I am so used to spending several hundred dollars on only one watercolour brush, that a brush for just a few dollars seemed unbelievable… Now I can hear you saying “goat”? Just the hair folks..just the hair….nobody died. / Remember this is traditional Chinese brush painting, and a synthetic brush cannot produce the same results….only natural fibers can provide the resilience and hold liquids long enough for the long and varied strokes that are so essential to the genre….. also the firm brushes will spring back easily and make the thinnest of lines, and at those prices you can afford to get the very best the shop has to offer. Look after your brushes…they will come with glue on the bristles, and after you’ve washed that off, do not recap…always wash them after use and do not let them stand in water…. Clicking on the painting below will lead you to my website and pictures of the tools you will require to try this fascinating art. The Tide Pool by Janis Zroback :

  Look above, to the cold lonely blue or the infinite black………… lower the eyes and see colour, form, and movement, the shapes of our living surface. Being surface creatures we observe the landscape mostly edge on, and as it recedes into the distance, our world seems to be an infinite place, yet the images of our planet from earth orbit, the moon, and recently as a blue speck from Saturn, show a small, beautiful and apparently untouched world. / One of the many pleasures of flying a light aircraft is the ability to observe and appreciate the most extraordinary and intriguing planet in the solar system, close enough for local detail, but from a high and free roving view, extraordinary because of the endless variety of images this world produces, in comparison to the craters, deserts, ice flows and acid cloud tops of the other worlds in the solar system. Intriguing, because this is still the only world with enough variety to engage the mind for a lifetime, and more. / An aeroplane on the ground is a fine piece of machinery, but in the air its aluminium body and steel motor take on life. It ceases to be a separate machine to be guided and controlled, becoming instead an extension of the pilot’s own muscles, nerves and sinews, following your eye and carrying out the mind’s wishes, bestowing the ability to travel with the winds, through and above the clouds, over cities, forests and mountains, then to swoop down and admire in finer detail creation’s beauty, and not through computer generated images via sensory interfaces, but in pastel coloured, muscle straining, wind-on-the-cheek reality. / From above, our world shows a clearer aspect. Spread out like an endless textured tapestry, the earth provides an amazing diversity of images constantly changing with the varying angle of the sun and the fluctuating moods of the weather and seasons. In a picture rich environment, when the subject matter is in a state of flux, such as with moving subjects, or the rapidly changing light of scurrying winter cloud shadows and during those few precious minutes of golden light at sunrise and sunset, when the movement of the planet can be seen, one is almost overwhelmed by the choices of compositions available. Time takes on a physical presence, harmonising with the space that contains it, its effects visible. How the mountains folded out of the earth’s crust, the rolling wet clouds, the places where water gathers and flows through the undulating contours of the land, the wind and weather scoured surface, the seasonal ebb and flow of vegetation. / Towns and cities rise in the more enticing areas of the landscape, the rich plains, valleys and more sheltered contours of the coast. / Below, the fields are being worked, farmers are creating loose designs on the crops with their harvesters and balers, mown hay lies in free formed lines, ellipses and circles. Hay stooks, like frozen fire set in a rich brown fabric, catch the first rays of a rising sun. / When the summer winds blow from the hot belly of the interior, they sometimes carry fire in their breath, smudging large swathes of farmland black and twisting forests into crazy abstracts of ash white, charcoal black, and scorched orange. Vast landscapes of beautiful, crisp desolation. / With the still air of autumn, a golden glowing haze hangs light over the quiet, patterned land. Smoke from foresters’ or farmers’ burn-offs rises vertically for thousands of feet before lazily drifting off in higher altitude breezes. Below, the land is a stable warm grey, crops have been harvested, fields lie fallow, pasture reduced to stubble, livestock fed from the backs of trucks, leaving swathes of casually scattered feed. Many lakes are just a memory, dry white crusts sometimes broken by hurtling black lines, speeding youth in fast cars and motorbikes. Creeks and rivers are reduced to a trickle, their beds lined by trees left dry. Sunsets are long, large and red, the burnished western horizon slowly swallowed by a descending liquid night of infinite azure, sprinkled with the first of the brightest stars and planets. The parched landscape softly glows even after light has ceased to caress its surface, as though still radiating the stored energy of the long summer days past, warm and even . / As the seasons change, the cold winds bring the heavy, ragged sheets of wet winter clouds brushing the tops of mountains, turning the land green and scattering the low ground with sparkling pools and rivulets, and creating a new and beautiful world above, an arena of luminous white and brilliant blue with slashes of metallic pink and gold at sunrise and sunset. A whole new eyescape, its form, untouchable, governed not by solids but by yielding air and vaporous water, moving and moulding, flowing through unscaleable time and space like waves in a dreaming mind, abstracts becoming reality. / In the wetter seasons, sheets of shallow water cover the flat wetlands, enveloping plains and forests in a shimmering liquid, creating muted water colour hues, swirling, blending and softly reflecting the same sky that brought it there. / With the icy blackness of the long and still late winter nights, the atmospheric moisture solidifies and settles, gripping the land in a white stillness only sun break will release, its piercing white light flooding the frosted ghostly landscape, slowly bringing back the lost tones and colours of seasons past and the / promise of the coming spring. / The first ripples of warm turbulence herald the end of the grey slumber of winter, bringing longer clearer days and warm drying breezes. The land breaks out into colour and pattern, fields of vibrant yellow on green, agriculture renewing. / Spring brings water birds to the large shallow lakes, vast clouds of life in motion covering the many islets in a white confetti which, on approach….... softly… explodes into a living white storm, tens of thousands of birds moving as one, casting a vibrant speckled shadow on the sparkling blue/green shallow waters. Shadow and light competing in an ephemeral dance of sweet motion, a visual whisper across a liquid surface,.......... look away and its gone, dissolved into its own environment. Larger long necked water birds skim low with a sweeping fluid grace, movements folded into movement, order melding out of chaos. / Looking down on the fragile veneer of life that envelopes the planet, and having seen the lifeless panoramas of other worlds one realises that this life zone between the top soil and cloud tops is all we have for now. / Vision helps us realise our isolated lonely place in the universe, and our own earths beauty, diversity, and fragility. /

  Ok, so I’ve been busy today after all of you tolerating a sleepless night and influx of old work on RB. Anyway, after yelling at my friend for ringing me at 11:30am – she doesnt’ understand the hours we artists keep I got started on my painting for the Prestigious Cossack Award… which is in about 10 days time. So, here are the first stages, nothing to rave about yet, let’s hope this artwork develops accordingly! Cheers for now, / Carmen / . / The painting in stage 1 … ok, so I have done an hours work and you think it looks lousy…hehe! Stage 2…3…4… your choice… about 7 layers have been added. Now it’s starting to get somewhere. Still have 3 days of work till salvation (I hope)! / Ok guys, so lets see, its taken at least another 3 days to get this far. Do you realize how many layers of paitn that is. I’ve deliberately shot this in the worst light (sadly the same light I work in) and won’t be posting the final version till I can properly photograph it in the light of day that I hope the judges will view it in. I’m entering this into the “Painting, Northe West Landscape, Oil or Acrylic, Rio Tinto” Category. If any of you are familiar with the Cossack award and can recommend a better category form me please speak now or forever hold your piece/peace!

  I finally started to edit my shots from my Sydney trip. I am hooked on HDR and maybe going a little overboard as I see an awful lot of them are bracketed ready for Photomatix…...... I am finding the colours in some a little unreal. Especially the blues of the skies. Not sure if that is the effect of the HDR of use of the circular polariser – maybe a little of both. I like the oversaturated colours on the old machines etc – some good examples here on RB. Seems to look a little cartoonish but I think that adds to the style of the image. The effect on the landscapes is good but I have to watch for the “halo” effect that occurs some times. Easily fixed with a little burning – if my old eyes can see it (mental note to get my glasses checked). Anyway, I will let this mania run it’s course and try a few of the different tutorial about. The learning is fun. :) Cheers til next time. :)
