Digital PaintingDigital painting is an emerging artform in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a digitizing tablet and stylus, and software. Digital painting differs from other forms of digital art and computer-generated art, in particular, in that it does not involve the computer rendering from a model. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer. The main difference between digial and traditional painting is the non-linear process. That is, an artist can often arrange their painting in layers that can be edited independantly. Also, the ability to undo and redo strokes frees the artst from a linear process. But a digital painter must employ many, if not all, of the techniques and study of a traditional painter. Digital painting thrives mostly in production art. It's most widely used in conceptual design for film, television and video games. Software tools for digital painting include Corel Painter and Studio Artist. Painting programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint and Jasc Paint Shop Pro give artists a similar environment to a physical painter: a canvas, painting tools, and a multitude of color options. There are various types of digital painting, including impressionism, realism, and watercolor. See also digital artist, digital photography, digital art.
