Atelier Waldlaterne specializes in teaching photographers how to evaluate their photographs in order to choose the right mount and frame for a professional presentation of their work. Workshops involve cutting mounts, double mounts, attaching pictures to backing boards, hinging pictures to conservation quality boards using Japanese archival hinge tapes, choosing the right frame, choosing the optimum size for frame, treating the surfaces of inkjet prints and giclee prints for exhibition purposes.

Oil Paintings

Learn how to paint still life's

Many rolls of film ended up in acrylic sheets. Then one day I decided to try and see how much they would reveal to a simple flatbed scanner.

I was amazed at their quality after 30 odd years or so. More than adequate for reproduction on the web. So I rummaged a little through those sheets. Every now and then I will put some more negs on the scanner, filter them through Photoshop and add them on this website.

The same for slides. These were photographed over a period of many years.

Caricatures & Old Prints

Learn how to hand-colour old prints

In Scotland Jolanda took private lessons from Colin, an artist living near Edinburgh, and she continued to master the art of applying water colour paints to enhance the illustrative and esthetic appeal of caricatures and prrints. In the long gone days before colour printing techniques were invented, this was common practice, but the art has almost died out.

Over the years, Jolanda has worked on hundreds and hundreds of illustrations and has become exceptionally good at enhancing the atmosphere of a scene or location through the use of colour. On this website we're presenting some of her work (not yet implemented).
