MY TECHNIQUE & PRINTING PROCESS
TECHNIQUE
I work in the digital format, but rest assured....there is absolutely NO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE involved here. As I explain on my HOME page, these works are all about expressing positive energy with abstract shape & form, colors, textures, symbols and brush strokes that, combined, help me express that. My canvas is the computer monitor and the media I use are digital paint colors and brushes that are applied and sometimes layered in ways that I don't think I could get with traditional media. In regards to technique, I use a variety of brushes to capture the lines, dots, squiggles, field shapes and colors that represent different forms of positive energy to me. Also, working in the digital format allows me to offer originals in a variety of sizes as well, unlike the traditional format where artists can only offer a single original at a specific size, with everything else only available as reproductions.
DESCRIPTION
My canvas and paper prints are output with the 10-color, Giclee print technique that delivers brilliant images with superior fade resistance for museum quality printing. Images printed on our photo papers using HP Vivera photo-versatile inks not only feature better image quality than photos processed by conventional labs but are more resistant to fading caused by light or heat and provide light-fade resistance superior to that of traditionally processed photos—up to 100 or more years.
PRINT TECHNOLOGY & PROCESS
Print process is with archival, pigment-based inkjet printing. This increases the apparent resolution and color gamut and allows smoother gradient transitions Unlike typical color pigment inkjet inks, HP EET uses two mechanisms (rather than just SWOP ISO coated) to keep pigment particles separated, so that the ink can flow smoothly for good image quality and reliability.
While all HP Vivera office inks are designed to resist degradation in room temperature storage for many decades, some HP office printing solutions offer enhanced longevity, resist degradation from water, and allow documents to be handled and distributed almost immediately from the printer without ink smudging or smearing.
