Honestly, when I can have so much fun with digital thick
paint brushes it's hard to miss the real thing. Well, not really, but I don't miss the cleaning up after
a real painting session. I do miss
having a real piece of art to show for my efforts. Prints are the only way I
can do this. The good news Fine Art America and other printers can offer prints
on a variety of surfaces. The bad news is I didn't paint this one with a high
enough resolution to make a good print.
I like to keep paper copies of my digital paintings in a
journal and I have found the best way to do this is with page size printable labels.
Because I use so many I buy them in quantity them at Online Labels . They are designed for inkjet printers (and laser printers) so the copies are great and because
of the self adhesive backing I do not have to glue them in. I made the mistake
of not buying their score backing. I suggest if you buy them you consider that.
That makes the removal of the backing much easier. Other than that I love this
company and their products, fast shipping and customer service. They have a variety
of shapes and sizes at a very reasonable price. I also use the transparent
labels for mix media techniques. Just thought I would share this in case you
are looking for another way to journal or to add layers to your collages...
back to the computer easel!
