Digital Painting


It is interesting what advances in technology has done for artists. The combination of digital editing programs like photo shop and illustrator that are powerful enough to allow artists to create art right on the computer, with touch technology allowing the use of drawing tablets, have combined with Giclee printing technology to create the new field of digital art. Giclee printing not only allows for print runs of as little as one print, but also offers a choice many exiting new materials for printing on.


In the past, people would hire painting to create one of a kind portraits of themselves and their families, now, many people hire digital artists to do the same thing: create one of a kind art peaces that represent loved ones. There are many professional artists who offer this service, so specialize in a certain style or technique, while others focus on a subject matter, like pets or couples. These artist are just as talented as the painters of the past, but their medium is different. They have recognized the change in the way art is produced and distributed, and offer services to suit the modern taste.


Many of these artists work over the internet, and it is often possible to get personalized work created entirely online, from you own photo. You can then get the artwork printed at Vancouver on canvas, and have it delivered right to your door. At USA on Canvas we work with many talented digital artists and their patrons, and we are very exited about the quality and originality of the work produced in this new medium.
