as art prints are more revealing that digital images - so can art be to seeing

Out Field - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

This is an excellent example of how art prints can show so much more that is in a piece than simply looking at the monitor image of the digital painting.

By looking at a detail closer to its intended size (results will vary with monitor resolution*) - one can see how much is being missed at what is close to a monitor sized image.*

The content and composition is pretty much a composite of much of what I see in the fields around here.  All of these things are going on at once, but in truth there is no way to see them all from any perspective that I am familiar with here.

So I invented one - hoping to show more of the reality than one might actually be able to see.

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.
