In this picture I have taken a piece of a figure. I refocused
and synthesized it pixel by pixel to shape an image of bright
colors and form.
This process I am using is a new medium. It is done wholly
digitally. It is a wonderful process that allows me to work
with all the latitude of any other Art form, but cleaner,
and with permanence.
-
I take a picture with a digital camera,
or I scan a picture I made with a film camera into my computer.
-
On the monitor I find a shape that interests
me and isolate that part.
-
I enlarge that segment and draw into it.
-
I manipulate the colors and paint on the
image.
-
I print the picture 8 inch X 10 inch, set
it on an easel and study it. Often the critique process
takes days.
-
I make corrections on the print with good
old low-tech pencil.
-
I go back to the computer to execute the
changes on the image. Sometimes I do this several times
until the image is the way I want it to look.
-
I then make a 19 inch X 13 inch print and
study that.
-
If I still like it, I take the final picture
file to the printer where the finished prints are made with
a large archival printer.
-
I then sign and number the prints.
