Partner with Another Artist (Part 3)
April 2007 introduced the challenge
of partnering with another artist to help an engraver translate
a photographic image into a more engravable drawing. June's Featured
Photos #25-2 showcased a partial engraving based on the client's
pet. Now, this beautiful pendant is complete.
Shown here is the finished engraving, the half-way point, and the
original photograph that sparked this project to life. Compared to
the photograph, the engraving truly captures the likeness of the pet
with a more artistic light. Because each engraver develops a personal
style over time, an engraving – even when based on a photograph
or drawing – becomes a unique piece of artwork.
Christian DeCamillis, the engraver of this beautiful pendant, teaches
several courses including Bulino Engraving throughout
the year at the GRS Training Center. If you are interested in this
type of engraving, please call 1-800-835-3519 today to talk to a representative
about enrolling in a bulino course.
