 What is It

How do you prepare and go digital in painting?

You are on your way to becoming a digital painter!
Painting has changed in the last few decades, thanks to the power and creative
ability of computers. Computers can make just about every aspect of painting easier.

Advantages of Using Computers in Painting

• Errors can easily be corrected.
• Work is done in an organized, no-mess environment.
• Colors do not fade and brushes are never worn-out.
• Stages and version(s) of the artwork can be saved, filed, and easily
retrieved.
• Work can be transferred or printed on almost any media.
• Work can be formatted and easily e-mailed to interested parties.

Digital painting is a fun hobby, one that you will enjoy for years. You can even
make a living with digital painting. After you have gained enough confidence in
producing digital paintings, you can see whether this hobby can become a career.
With your knowledge of digital painting, you can become a highly sought after artist
by companies to venture into digital animation (movies and video games), fashion
designs, cartoons, poster making, crafts, t-shirt designs, etc.

Example:

A digital painting competition at Technopark

 Preparing for Digital Painting
Your ability to draw is only one part of being a good digital painter. Being able
to prepare everything else needed to get across your ideas with your brush and to
add the details that make your painting stand out is equally important.

Note: A painting is considered a Real Painting if:

1. the canvas peeps through the oil paint
2. the brushstrokes appear thick or thin on the board or canvas
3. each artist mixes and blends colors to build forms
4. the watercolor washes can blend
5. the watercolor is deposited on rough paper
