digital paintings
Digital Paintings are pictures that are "painted" using any type of
computer paint program. These programs can emulate many different
artist tools such as watercolors, charcoal, markers, and crayons. Pure digital
paintings are done from scratch; that is to say, no photographs are
scanned in and manipulated. This makes this type of computer art most
like painting physical paintings (except for the fact that it is much less
messy!)
Mistakes can be "undone" in digital paintings. The "Undo" feature lets
artists make changes after it would be too late if they were using physical
paint. This safety mechanism can cause the artist to be more creative, since
he or she does not have to be afraid to experiment.
Also unlike physical paintings, digital paintings can be saved at different
stages. This allows the artist to branch out in many different creative
directions from one original idea.
