One of my most recent fancies is digital art, so I am experimenting with pixel play. Photoshop has a bit of a learning curve, and this is something I created. It’s similarity in this case to watercolor is uncanny.
I tried a test print and it looks quite good. Just as soon as I find the best kind of paper to print on, then I will be able to offer prints of my digital work.
My eventual plan is to combine my computer knowledge with my music, and then combine it with digital art. And there’s more … but I will save that for another time.
That is the sort of thing that keeps creativity and passion alive. Always experimenting, I have learned that it is when I step out of my comfort zone to do something in a way you had never done before is when discoveries are made.
Have you ever heard the expression ‘the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results’? Take a chance … break new trail … and see where that leads. Sense it, feel it and get in the flow.
Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. Now I am beginning the dead layer. Like a rabbit hopping from place to place, adjustments are made as I see fit.
So this is my progress so far on the dead layer. Much more to do yet on this layer, two feet by three feet is a large area to cover. When this layer is done, the fun part will begin. Glazing over the various values with colour tonalities is one of my favourite parts.
I let go of this baby today. This is the commission I have been working on. Another hibiscus, 16 X 20 Acrylic on Canvas. It has gone to the same home as the Purple Iris, which it will hang beside. This is also the location of the mural I did a while back.
