Art prints improve upon digital image – experimentation improves even more
Jazz 3 – digital painting and art prints – 2005 – Dan Beck
I just printed this piece today. I had printed it once, but for some reason not large – 13×19″ watercolor paper. I printed it today because I was considering hanging it in a show with some other pieces which reference jazz.
I have already written more extensively on what went into the creation of this piece, but I did not talk about the printing.
Today, I find this art print to be surprisingly nice. I am printing a little differently than I was at the time of painting this piece. I have found that if I save the image as a photoshop document instead of a bitmap(bmp), I get richer results – tiff files tend to be too crisp and take away from the painting and jpg’s are compressed by their nature.
I have experimented a lot with this medium and I am really proud of the printed results I have been able to achieve – results which are always much better than the monitor image.
