experimenting with new program leads to new work and positive results

Nework 2 - Digital Painting 2003 - Dan Beck

In 2003 my old computer died. It wasn’t very impressive - barely could get online - I was fortunate to be able to use email at my (at the time) workplace.

When I replaced my computer, I was fortunate that I did not have to lose any of the paintings I had created - they were safe on another hard drive.

But I bought another Mac and the program which it had for painting was more sophisticated and had textures - which I have since found out I could customize as needed.

The above piece was one of the first pieces I did using texture. It still utilizes the overlapping translucent gradients, but added textured color. It was relatively simple, but more importantly it was created with little expectation or cares.

It flowed, it was fun, it was play, and it came out quite nice.
