Conclusion
Approaching a new work without a plan in mind can be intimidating, yet it is an opportunity to push your own artistic limits. Embrace the unexpected as you work with the materials, and you may find that it takes your work to a new level. I enjoy these processes because it lets me play with real paint again, and yet leverage the technology that’s become integral to my work. The computer and digital camera are just two of many tools that can be used to create an image. If you know you’re going to add traditional media or a custom substrate to those tools, you’ll start to think differently about what to look for when you frame your next photograph.
