Van Horn artist/art teacher - Prairie Grove Middle School, Arkansas
 
From William: I usually use digital photos that I manipulate in
Photoshop 7. Or, as in the case of Unknown Ancestor (left), scanned images
from old family B&W photos. I use many layers so the image may be
changed directly and I may add other masking or translucent layers over
the image. As in Bird on a Wire (right), I do a lot of work with a stylus,
using the smearing tool, burn, dodge and sponge tools, etc.
