Art by Rheba Kramer Mitchell This gallery contains multiple pages All of the paintings on this page are made entirely on the computer. Click on each thumbnail to see the larger picture. Digital Collage
The process of making digital collages, which I learned from
Jeremy Sutton (see also the account of
his visit to The Lair by clicking here), is labor intensive and much fun. One can generate a large number of components for the collage,
paint them, draw them, and meld parts
of them into each other and ultimately into the final composite. Collages in digital art involve cutting and pasting (on the computer), painting, using
scanned found objects, photographs and drawings just as making collage requires in
studio art. The programs I use are Corel Painter, Jasc
Software's Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Image Ready, Kai's Power Tools 3, 5 and 6,
and other programs; I also employ my HP Scanner, my Sony Digital camera, my computer Titania,
my Wacom pad and pressure sensitive stylus, and my skills learned in
years of studying and pursuing the making of paintings. Ancient documents, samples of friends' handwriting, pictures of ancestors and my classmates, the product of many years of keeping journals, of research into timely
subjects, my love of mystery and my fascination with color and texture also play into the collages I create.
