According to Wikipedia; digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques, those using oil,watercolor, pastel, etc, are employed using digital software.
Why would one want to use the latest technology to produce Plein Air Paintings? Painting on location for the past twenty-plus years has given me great joy and a large collection of field studies. These studies now supply authentic information that I can use as reference material for newly rendered work.The experience of actually being there, absorbing details that one cannot get any other way, contributes to being able to re-imagine a scene, or subject, in a different way. The hassle-free medium of digital painting that does not require set-up or clean-up time, offers less frustration in keeping my equipment pliable and ready without the convenience of a studio enables me to paint instantly. My reluctance to develop a working friendship with the computer is being replaced with a revitalized impulse to create new works and to revisit older pieces with more energy and fewer bug bites! So, stay tuned . . . if you see anything you like, free E-cards are available. Welcome to my web-site/studio, thanks for looking. |
