I had to learn a new colour theory and to work as though I was painting on canvas, before I started getting results I liked. I got my first Painter just as Metacreations sold it to Corel version 6, I now use version 9.

I found that with a mouse all I could do was Photo Manips, as I was a real clutz trying to paint with a puck, then I discovered the Wacom tablet, first the PenPartner (now called Graphir) then the Intous GD my first pro tablet. It has taken me years to get beyond the technology.
MARKLY PHOTOHSOP PSP
About 10 years ago while working 12 hour night shifts I discovered Digital Art – my first program was JASC’s PSP 5 (I now have all versions to X Corel, bought the program during version 9, and most of us long-time users are not happy with how they are using it). Life circumstances had stalled my development after college and the cutting of Art Ed. I was sad to see that you only posted Photoshop and 3D images in your example of Digital Art, no digital painting using Corel Painter. In the words of Daniel Bell, “Technology, like art, is a soaring exercise of the human imagination.” Can it be that this technology is a window to a brighter future? “The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village.” ( Marshall McLuhan, 1911-1980) We can still make our mark with brush and canvas, or chisel and stone - but we are also blessed with the grace of a higher technology. Today the wise and privileged make magic for themselves. PS: “A computer is an interface where the mind and body can connect with the universe and move bits of it about.” ( Douglas Adams, 1952-2001)Įsoterica: In Leonardo’s time there were few artists and those few made magic that the wise and privileged desired. Digital is a welcome force for human exchange and universal understanding - a sort of instant handshake that helps to make real our essential brotherhood and sisterhood. Its champions and masters are now appearing. Posters, art-cards, gallery sales, even pay-per-view on the Internet have so far shown only faint success.įor us, digital is a celebration of looking and seeing, of delight in what nature has given - and what the human creator can do with what is seen. Those who would commercialize digital are faced with the question of what to do with it. Its facile nature and general proliferation tend to render it less valuable. While holding out the hand of democratization to all who would participate, like photography itself, it also runs counter to the role of art as commodity - digital is difficult to make rare. Everyone who tries it can see that it’s a creative tool like no other.Īnd yep, digital has its problems. Digital manipulation is probably the fastest way to cross-breed motifs and ideas.

And like poetry, the making of it is absorbing, challenging, life enhancing, and full of beautiful “aha” epiphanies. Like poetry in the last century, more is being made than seen. Worldwide, more than a thousand new images are currently being posted every second. Instant gratification is the order of the day. Communities are born and people are empowered. Through portals like Flickr, images are posted and feedback is immediate.
MARKLY PHOTOHSOP SOFTWARE
Brilliant software - on a constant arc of improvement - permits ever more speedy and imaginative manipulation. Creative folks of all stripes find the making of digital art to be almost irresistible. I could never do this when I practiced calligraphy or painted. I love the instant processing, the ability to rework my images and go right onto another piece. Moments which might have been blurred have turned into transformational pieces through my use of Photoshop. This morning Antoinette Ledzian of Stonington, CT wrote, “Digital art has been my savior.
