Dad's House (digital medium painting) |
These are digital medium paintings. This (digital) medium is further described in one or two of the posts above and below this one. Suffice it to say, though Andy's digital paintings are completed using the computer paint program and touchscreen, they're still painted manually, so to speak. The touchscreen acts as canvass, the paint program provides the palette, and (for Andy) the tip of a plastic pen barrel or pen cap acts as paint brush. As he paints, he works his paint brush (pen barrel or pen cap tip) manually from side to side and from top to bottom of his canvass (touchscreen), much as he would on any traditional media painting. (Or is it from side to side and bottom to top? Or center-out? Or outside-in? Andy seems always to have a very definite strategy in his approach to his subject, and it seems sometimes rather complex to say the least.) Andy now works almost exclusively in the more traditional media, however-- chalks, watercolors, etc.
