Printing After Painting
digital medium and image size give art print gratification
Pickin’ Start - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
This is the most recently finished digital painting I have. It is formatted to be wide and fit a 13×19″ watercolor paper with next to no margin.
Most of my recent work has these pixel dimensions. After having done a series which was intended to be large only - I found the work to be a little unfulfilling.
Like most people I want some immediate gratification. It is unusual in itself to require a painting to be printed before being complete. But since those are the rules of the digital medium - it is definitely nicer to be able to print it directly after completing it and not have it look too small for the paper it is printed on.
The above piece - although improved at a larger size - works well at 13×19″ too. If you are interested in an original art print of this piece or any others on the blogsite, please send inquiries to specialorders@outhousestudios.net.
