not printed but projected. I don't know the word. The outlines are traced on the canvas then the artist paints over them. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 07:41 2

I've never really seen the point of that, I'd rather have a high-quality photographic print. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 07:41 2
- there is still the challenge of getting the colors right. It takes skill. I don't care for it, though. - loosilu Apr 8, 07:42 1
  - certainly skillfully done, and I can definitely appreciate that. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 07:44
That's certainly what it looked like to me, when I saw it - like it was either based on a photo, or a print of a photo -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 07:40 2
- ah, from Roger's interview link, I see my hunch was right - the initial seed of the painting is taken from a photograph -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 07:43 1
  - I have never heard of an artist who can freehand that level of accuracy. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 07:45
