Digital Painting

Digital painting is an emerging form of art which is using computers, software, and digitizing tablet and stylus instead of the traditional tools of painting like oil colors, water colors, and canvas. Digital painting is different from other digital arts in the case of creation of the images.

Even the artist can make the brush style and the desired affects. The softwares are Corel painter, Adobe Photoshop, ArtRage, GIMP, and openCanvas, and they give a similar environment like traditional painting.
