When I use the Book of Kells as a reference, I generally interpret the animals and coils and knots, and much less so the religious icons. But today I focused on the stylized figures, making more or less a straight copy, within the limitation of the medium, of a detail from the Book of Kells using an online site in which one collages pixels of animals, among other forms --
Think Draw. I copied that image over to photoshop, then enlarged and slightly desaturated it. I like the spreading of the marks that occurred with enlarging the image and the combination of colors that resulted from desaturating the picture; the image looks aged. The Think Draw site is a good diversion.
