Digital Painting
The main difference between digital and traditional painting is the non-linear process. That is, an artist can often arrange their painting in layers that can be edited independently. Also, the ability to undo and redo strokes frees the artist from a linear process. But a digital painter must employ many, if not all, of the techniques and study of a traditional painter.
Digital is widely used in conceptual design for film, television and video games. Digital painting software give artists a similar environment to a physical painter: a canvas, painting tools, mixing palettes, and a multitude of color options.
Giclee printing (pronounced 'Zhee-clay and 'Jee-clay') is used by major art museums for archiving entire collections. The giclee process involves spraying microscopic dots of ink onto fine quality art canvas. The combination of archival inks and fine artist canvas yield stunning light fast vibrancy and longevity (approximately 100 years).
