Your Painted Portrait |
ABOUT THE ARTIST During the past 20+ years I've painted with oils, acrylics, chalks, and charcoal. With the advent of hi resolution monitors, wonderful graphics software, and most importantly the digital graphics tablet I made the switch from pencil, oil and acrylics to entirely digital. Using the digital graphics tablet and stylus I can apply any paint technique to the creation of fine art pieces. More often than not, I will use multiple techniques in a single painting to translate what I feel into what I want the viewer to feel. The computer does not create the art, but rather, it is the canvas, the brush, and the paint … in other words, it is the tool that allows me to have absolute control over the creative process. |

ABOUT THE PROCESS I start with a blank digital canvas and the stylus from the Wacom Intuos 3 12x12 Graphics Tablet. Using the graphics tablet I begin to ‘paint’ the image stroke by stroke. Every painting is created exactly as I would with oil or acrylic paints. The great advantage to digital art is that mistakes can be corrected quickly and without mess.Digital paintings take considerably less time because there is no drying time between layers and colors. Once the painting is completed, it goes to a Giclee printer and rendered to either artists canvas or fine art paper.If I then want to produce a textured canvas painting I will use brushes, paints, and medium to refine the painting and produce that wonderful texture that only a brush on canvas can produce.Make no mistake, while this process is different than traditional oil painting it is no less a hand crafted work of art carrying all of the subtle nuance of color, shading, and emotion as work from any ‘traditional’ artist.
