Digital painting differs from other forms of digital art, particularly computer-generated art, in that it does not involve the computer rendering from a model. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer.
The Assignment:
Create an original digital painting. This needs to be an 11x17 poster, printed and mounted on the last day of class.
My Digital Painting:
I am going to do an underwater scene for my painting. Here is my mood board.
