Digital Paintings

I started playing with Digital Painting a couple of years ago.  I absolutely LOVE this process and the effect it can have on an image.  Not all images are good candidates for Digital Paintings, but when I see one that I think will work, I can’t wait to get started on it.

Below you will see some Before and After samples of my Digital Paintings.  Some programs will let you “Auto Paint” a photo to make it look like a painting.  Although the program I use offers that option, I do not use auto painting.

My Digital Paintings take hours and even days to complete.  I choose the brush type and size, the opacity of the painting effect, etc.  I paint every pixel of the image and will usually have 5 or more painted layers by the time I am done.

Although it’s very time consuming, I love the effect it gives an image.  Sometimes the effect is dramatic and very noticeable, other times it’s very subtle.

I’ve included “close up” veiws of each image so you can better see the difference in the original photo and the digitally painted version.  You can also click on each image for a larger view.
