Simple Flowers (Digital Print)

Simple Flowers (Digital Print), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is an image that I made tonight with Painter's pattern pen. I used the pattern that I created recently (see yesterday's post). This time, I chose a strong background color, and used a "pattern pen marker" in purple, loaded up with my new pattern. I used a great big brush, and made a few strokes. (Sounds easy, but it takes a lot of trial and error to get the strokes where I want them.) Then I did some posterizing and cropping to get this image. I call images that I make this way "digital prints" just because the process and the results remind me of printmaking.
