Digital Painting is a new art form being perfected in this high tech age of computer generated art of all sorts. It is NOT photo manipulation, where you take a photo and apply all sorts of effects to it to make it interesting. Of course,there is nothing WRONG with photo manipulation. I enjoy doing it, myself. But Digital Painting is completely different. A digital drawing or painting begins like every other type of painting... with a blank "canvas." Instead of the blank canvas being propped on an easel, it is opened in a Graphics Program in the artist's computer. Then using digital drawing tools, the artist creates an image, step by step and stroke by stroke. The electronic pen can duplicate hundreds of types of brushes, pencils, pens and markers. Combine this with the millions of colors available digitally, and you find that this medium allows for some spectacularly detailed and realistic paintings. I love working digitally, as I feel there are just no limits to what can be done. And what I love to do best is to paint animals and flowers. Below you will see some step by step images which I hope will give you a better idea of how my digital paintings progress. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to email me.
