Jamaica Pond, detail

A New Look: the pixels are finally showing! Visually, this makes for crisper
textures and stronger contrast between values, creating a kind of
optical sparkle. Conceptually, the work is now unambiguously "digital."

Technical Information for the Digital Drawings
These digital drawings are hand-drawn original works of art in a photorealist style. Because digital drawing is an unfamiliar concept for many people, the drawings are frequently mistaken for manipulated photographs or scanned drawings, but they are actually drawn free-hand in exactly the same way drawings in traditional media are created.

The digital drawings are based on digital reference photographs taken by the artist , which undergo much editing, adjusting, recomposing, and resizing in Photoshop; then the final version is imported into a piece of software called Corel Painter TM. Using a digitizing tablet and stylus and the photograph as a guide to color and composition, the drawing is completed by hand. The most outstanding feature of Painter is its "Natural Media," which are pressure-sensitive digital paper textures and brushes that respond to the gestures of the artist's hand just like traditional media. The final drawings are printed as small editions on rag paper using archival inks on the artist's Epson 4000 or at Jonathan Singer Editions in Boston on either an Epson 9600 or Iris inkjet printer.
