The original has sold, but prints of my Sandhill Crane Migration painting are available, and start at just $18 ☺️ ✈️💌 I ship worldwide! Link in bio✨ You can use code YAY10 for 10% off prints 🥳 It has taken many hours over the last 1+ year to develop my process for creating high-quality art reproductions. It starts with photographing the original painting at very close range, in segments: images #3-5 are examples of what I mean. I capture just a fraction at a time! I do this because if you stand back far enough to get the entire painting in the frame at once, you’ll run into a few issues, the two primary ones being 1.) the lens is going to warp the sides of the painting, which means you’ll have to crop a lot or artificially stretch the corners using software, and 2.) the resolution will be so poor, printing a reproduction loses a critical amount of detail and ultimately limits the size of print offerings. You will also run into problems with inconsistent lighting! Basically, it’ll look like garbage, and I’m not about that. For this painting I took around 30 images that I then stitched together in Photoshop. Not that you can tell 😉 It’s meant to be seamless. The resulting file ends up being gigantic: sometimes up to 50k+ pixels on one side!!! But then I can resize the file to fit any size paper — even huge sizes I can’t currently offer because you need a printer like 5 FEET across 🤯 Anyway, this is how I am able to offer custom, on-demand prints from 4x6 to 16x20– and for all of them to retain the same type of clarity, detail, and color accuracy. I am still learning a LOT, and improving and tweaking every day. But I’m proud of what I’ve created and so excited to share them with everyone! ☺️ #art #painting #landscape #landscapepainting #artist #artistsofinstagram #nebraska #sunset #sunsetpainting #timelapse #smallbusiness #acrylicpaintings #originalart #acrylicart #dailypainting #natureart #artprocess #artprint
