Resizing images for digital print (Krita)

Image
Working with Images Computers work with files and as a painting program, Krita works with images as the type of file it creates and manipulates. What do Images Contain? If you have a text document, it of course contains letters, strung in the right order, so the computer loads them as coherent sentences. Raster Data This is the main data on the paint layers you make. So these are the strokes with the paint brush and look pixely up close. A multi-layer file will contain several of such layers, that get overlaid on top of each other so make the final image. A single layer file will usually only contain raster data. Vector Data These are mathematical operations that tell the computer to draw pixels on a spot. This makes them much more scalable, because you just tell the operation to make the coordinates 4 times bigger to scale it up. Due to this vector data is much more editable, lighter, but at the same time it’s also much more CPU intensive. Operation Data ...

Paula Rego

Paula Rego is a Portuguese artist known for her paintings and prints which are often based on children’s folktales. Among her most famous works are her  Dog Women paintings, a playful series depicting a magical realist world where women behave as dogs. Rego’s work is heavily influenced by Surrealist artists like Joan Miró , though gradually her paintings have become more realistically rendered with similarities to the work of the painter Balthus in their strong, clear drawing style and depictions of women in strange or unsettling situations. Born on January 26, 1935 in Lisbon, Portugal, she went on to study in London at the Slade School of Fine Art. Rego’s work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others. She continues to live and work in London, England.  Paula Rego is a relevant artist for my research, she bases some of her work on children's folktales, w...

DATE:   08.05.18    WRITTEN BY:   NIGEL JARRETT    POSTED IN:   REVIEWS ,  VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITION | THIS INCONSTANT STATE BY SHANI RHYS JAMES Nigel Jarrett  travels to London to review the first solo exhibition from Shani Rhys James since her residency in New York in 2015. Shani Rhys James is not alone among artists in exploring a single corner of human existence time and again. Predominantly domestic, her niche also resonates outwards and inwards with unspecified anxiety; not that everyone requires explication or that, in being non-specific, it’s a state with which the viewer cannot sympathise. In many ways her work is serial self-portraiture, in which a variation of narcissism wrestles with deep and chronic unease. Her milieu appears to have the sub-text of a Paula Rego and, sometimes, the indulgence of a Bonnard, though in the latter, and at the practical level, mainly with a less subtle palette. The Rego-style inside story s...
