watercolor transparency with digital overtones
Two Pick 2 – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck 2006
Since this image is in the center of the blog banner, I thought I would feature it again. This piece shows off some of the digital nature of its inception.
Many people looking at my finished pieces think that they are watercolor – in many ways they have the characteristics. They are layered and the colors are somewhat translucent and that quality of water comes through.
But then again – there is just about always something which cannot be done using watercolor. And my position, is one of using what I have to express myself.
In the above digital painting, I used patterns as part of my paint on the strawberry mounds. And I think that is a bit of a digital give away.
