The Mind Creative
Digital painting is therefore not completely computer-generated
and it does not necessarily involve a computer automatically
generating images from mathematical models created by the
artist. In fact, in most digital paintings, the artist uses special
painting techniques to create the image directly on the computer
by using a digitising tablet, special stylus and dedicated digital
painting software like Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk Sketchbook,
ArtRage and Corel Painter.

These software packages coupled with digital technologies
provide pigmented inks and high quality art papers (100% cotton,
acid and lignin free, pH neutral, without optical brighteners,
lightfast and extremely age resistant), that allow us to reproduce
our digital paintings with the same quality as those offered by
traditional techniques.
