Visual Art – San Diego

My work is definitely painting even in the oldest sense. But how can I call my work “painting” if I produce the art on my computer? This way. I first outline all the forms and their relationships on my virtual canvas–just as I would on a real canvas. Then, just like in real painting, I add the colors to every shape. Finally I make changes and modifications, add shading and dimensionality just as I would with acrylics on canvas. Finally, many of my works can be produced in my studio with actual acrylics and canvas, these now being one-of-a-kind signed works.
