What is a digital painting exactly?
My digital paintings are created in the style of a traditional acrylic painting using the same techniques adapted to a digital format. I have used the same artists’ software for over ten years via desktop computer and currently use an iPad and stylus. My digital paintings are “hand-painted”, meaning that I place every brush stroke by drawing the line with my stylus the same way I would use a paint brush on canvas. I don’t use any filters, generative AI, or other magic buttons on your photos - only my artistic skills built from many years of practice.
My creative process is just the same as my original paintings, starting with a 1-on-1 consultation with you, then sketching in pencil, adding color, then finally using digital paintbrush tools sourced from actual paintbrush textures and uploaded into the art software. The result is what you see in the timelapse above: vivid color, canvas and brush texture, and fine details. Because the materials are more affordable and the painting process quicker, I can offer a bespoke piece of fine art featuring your pet for a more accessible price point.
