The Photograph
The 102nd Alain Briot Print of the Month is titled Branches & Sandstone. This image was created in 2011.

This image departs from all previous prints of the Month in that it is a Sketch and not a Photograph. However, the name of this series is Print of the Month, not Photograph of the Month, hence the presence of this sketch is not against the spirit of this collection.

I created this Sketch on my iPad with SketchBook Pro and a Pogo Sketch Stylus.

The creation of this image was motivated by my desire to draw as a form of inspiration and creativity. I made a number of sketches over July and August, and this is one of my favorite. I have several others I like and I may add them to the Print of the Month Collection later on.

This sketch is done handheld, no plugin or filters are used. Everything is drawn by me. It is based on one of my photographs, but it is a departure from the photograph. My goal was not to duplicate the photograph. Instead my goal was to create an image that is a departure from the photograph. Because my photographs are departures from reality, this sketch is therefore a departure from a departure from reality, or art from art, or interpretation of an interpretation of reality. Or, if you prefer to keep it short, something fun.

You can see photographs of my sketches and photographs shown together on my Sketching Online Gallery.

The Print
This Sketch is available framed and unframed. It is hand signed on the mat and the print. The frame is a handmade Mahogany Finish Frame. The moulding is truly magnificent and does emphasize the beauty of this image. The photograph I took of the moulding show very closely how beautiful this presentation is. However, these pieces looks much better in reality than a web photograph can show! You just won't believe your eyes when you receive yours. All the framing materials used are Museum Quality, archival supplies. All my work is guaranteed for life in regard to fading and damage caused by framing materials.

Framed pieces are delivered in a stunning mahogany finish frame.
