Commissioned Digital Paintings

Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, charcoal, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a tablet and stylus, and natural drawing software. Traditional painting is painting with a physical medium as opposed to a more modern style like digital. A digital artist uses the same painting techniques a traditional artist would use but paints directly on the computer rather than a physical canvas.
