This image is a photograph of a late sunflower in our garden that braved the cooler weather to bring forth it's beauty. I wanted to do something different with this photograph and decided to digitally paint it, and using real paint, painted some layers and used one from Pamela Phelps, thank you Pamela @ http://pinesingerimages.zenfolio.com/. I hope you like it and will consider giving it a home.
The specific visual characteristics of a digital painting can be traced back to the software. They include transparency, symmetry, distortion, repetition, texture, embossing (creating 3D illusions), mathematically perfect circles, ellipses, squares and other forms, and a flat surface due to the (up to now) technical impossibility to make the brush stroke visible. The option to undo without a trace up to twenty or more brush strokes or other actions, permits a more spontaneous, intuitive way of working than is possible in traditional painting. The choice of program (or specific feature within a program) determines the output to have the characteristics of a watercolor, lino cut, screen print, oil painting etc. Thus, digital painting is not so much a new medium as a new appearance of the whole range of existing mediums, supplemented with some new features.
