The Amazing Christo (and Stelios too)

Well it tries anyway!


Well half way through CityLit Photoshop course  - ADOBE package  a very sophisticated package that really allows for a lot of clever image manipulation - best way to learn is to get stuck in and Stelios who is our Tutor makes sure we all do this - I'm trying to use it more at home too.




This week we spent a fair bit of time working with layers and also colourising a black and white image - good fun. The challenge will be to keep using the s/ware after next weeks' final session.

Stelios demonstrates and we then try the same tasks.

Christo, Jeanne-Claude and The Mastaba

Christo and barrels


Yesterday I went to see an exhibition in (and out of) The Serpentine Gallery, I've long been a fan of Christo and what is happening at The lake is amazing - it looks like Photoshop but it's for real (Honest!)

In the Gallery you can see work showing the concept, models and the  planning as well as some early work by Christo  but outside it is amazing...

And the reality?
