What is Painting on a Computer?
Some people are confused when I say that I paint on the computer. Is it paint-by-numbers? - Is it a colour guide for artists?
Painting on a computer is simply the ability to create A hand painted look by using computer software to emulate real paint and real brush strokes.
Today's most popular software programs to help create digital art are Photoshop® , Painter® and Adobe Illustrator®.
As a digital artist I use many of the techniques of a traditional painter including the same hand motion as when using a traditional paintbrush to canvas. The difference being, that I use a stylus instead of a brush and my computer screen instead of a canvas.
I have complete control over all the lighting variables and can quickly adjust shading, density, brightness and texture to create images that jump off the canvas once the pet portrait is printed!
My paintings, when printed and framed are as close as you can get to fooling the eye. They look like traditional hand painted art and are absolutely stunning!
By using these techniques, I can offer custom pet portraits at reasonable price when compared to traditional paintings. |
