July 31, 2010 Overworking an original
Mosquito Man
When it comes to presenting your work on the web or in any digital format there’s a million ways to clean up, tweak, refine and present your art. Pretty much anything can be fixed using a high-end camera, scanner and some sort of software like Adobe’s Photoshop.
BUT….
Before you go too wild with that healing brush, saturation of color, or clip things in and out, keep in mind your intent for the piece.
There’s nothing worse than a vibrant piece of art presented to a potential client on-line only to find the original is dull by comparison.
If you’re intentionally altering colors for digital sales that’s one thing, but if you’re trying to present an original piece of art as it really is, go steady with that computer enhancement.

Hmmm, you must be busy or something. *laugh* You’ve not posted for a while.
I wonder what you think of prints in general. Should they be limited, or is that for artists who are established? Is it considered poor taste to alter your prints for sale, so they aren’t exact duplicates of the original?
*stops talking* Okay, I think that’s the worst of the questions this post triggered. Please don’t feel pressured to answer. I know what busy feels like.
