Digital Painting is still a relatively new realm in the art world, but its popularity is ever-increasing. Today's technology allows digital paint to emulate traditional paints with ease, and as such digital paintings can exhibit all the feeling of traditionally created art. Paintings can be painted from a photo source, or completely from scratch. Both result in beautiful paintings worthy of gracing any wall or art show.

Digital Painting isn't limited to only fine art applications either. Commercial applications for digital painting include product packages, magazine illustrations, web design, and so much more. Digital art is everyhwere. Welcome to the 21st Century!

"The proof is in the pudding," or in the case of digital painting, in the final painting! The "filtered" painting looks like a distorted photo with strange grey swirls running through it. On the other hand, the digital painting exudes vibrance and a very "painterly" feel. Individual strokes and dabs of paint are identifiable, yet subtle, and show great texture and beautiful color. The digital painting has also been edited from the original. The dark railing and bench have been removed, leaving the lighthouse as the main attraction without distraction. How's that for a lasting impression?
