What is Digital Painting

Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto, etc. Are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, graphics tablet and stylus, and software.
All digital painting programs try to mimic the use of physical media through various brushes and paint effects. Included in many programs are brushes that are digitally styled to represent traditional style like oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, pen and even media such as airbrushing.
The result of a digital painting can be printed on many media such as canvas, canvas, wood, fabric, PVC in addition to paper and many others.
Artists are currently selling more digital painting than traditional because there are no constraints due to the size of the media, and it is cheaper for the buyer.
The work itself loses no value according to the great artists like Android Jones.

In the digital world, new applications are emerging to facilitate the artist's demand to achieve a more reliable approach to traditional painting.
Corel Painter has been a part of our lives for many years. Recently, other programs that are more artist-friendly and with great precision tools such as Realistic Paint Studio have appeared.

Finalizing the canvas

Lastly, the application of a special varnish solution to create relief in some areas on the canvas.

Don't make blind purchases


My purpose is not to sell canvas prints. You can take any photo and have it printed at a print shop. It's cheap...but it's not the same.
This type of printing lacks the contrast or intensity of color that a canvas deserves.
I have other high quality printing and finishing methods.

My purpose is not the photo, but to give another meaning to the photo, to transform it into a painting of great realism. These are not photoshop filter results. It's really a painting, done in special programs like Painter, Realistic Paint Studio, Krita and Affinity Photo. Sometimes a single work needs dozens of hours to complete. see for yourself on the Corel Painter Fine Art page.
If you live outside of Portugal, you can order the painting anywhere in the world and have it printed near you, it's safe, and I'll teach you the procedures to get a high quality work for you or to give away.
