Little Bouquet (Digital Print)
Originally uploaded by randubnick
Recently, scheduled deadlines have been colliding with unexpected events, making for crunch time this weekend. But art is a priority for me, so I decided to take a little time out to create an image, even if I could only spare twenty minutes. I opted for digital art (no set-up, no clean up). I opened a new file in Painter and chose the pattern pen tool. The pattern I used (posted here on April 2) was made from a digital sketch called "Little Digital Bouquet," made on my son's iPod (and posted here March 26). Tonight I used a great big pattern pen loaded with digital pastel in pink, and made three or four strokes. Then I added a color overlay in blue, and posterized the entire image. After that, I cropped the result several times until I had this composition. The entire process took about fifteen minutes. (This isn't a print, but I call these posterized patterns "digital prints" because the look like prints to me. Anyway, I am happy with the image, and even happier that I managed to capture some time to make art, even on a very busy day.
