Another throwback to one of my favorite pieces. . “Witness” was created in 2021, fully digital in #Procreate as sort of an “in between.” What this means is that I’m often drained from one project but still have creative fuel left in the tank for something else. When this happens, I switch to something that I can just zone out on and go full stream-of-consciousness, and embrace whatever manifests. These “in between” projects are some of my favorites: filled with secrets and surprises that feel more like discoveries than the execution of premeditated ideas. . Nearing the end, it’s time to tweak final color (where it feels like I spend far more time than I probably should), adjusting hues and color relationships before making a decision on final output. Invariably, I discover several other color relationships that I like better than the original. That’s where I’ll opt for a color variant (or three). Where I can easily end up with dozens of color schemes that I love, they must be narrowed down to only a couple. In the end, “Witness” arrived in “Aubergine” (it’s original purple scheme) and a green treatment: “Viridian.” . The final step was output by the excellent crew at @staticmedium. They produced the final print, maintaining the vibrancy and sharpness of the source image, and I’m always impressed by their results. The end product was an 18” x 18” archival giclée print on 100% cotton rag paper, each print hand signed and numbered. . For the final release, I hand embellished (HE) a few of each colorway with various media, including pen/ink, acrylics, metallic paints, and iridescent interference inks. The HE prints are a chance to experiment with physical media on the image which has been fully digital until now. There’s always a delight of mixing the two worlds together. . There are still a handful of “Witness” prints left (alas, no more HEs) in my storefront (the link is in my bio). Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings! ❤️ . #process #art #illustration #streamofconsciousness #limitededition #giclee #archivalprint #digitalart #handembellished #ncwinters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpv03FcJi9J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
