Drawing, painting and watercoloring

One of the advantages of the digital age is that the computer recreates the real World. The computer is a machine that emulates other machines and activities that we as humans have developed through our years of being.




Few years back, the darkroom was necessary to process our photographs; nowadays, the computer replaces the darkroom and all the processing is done digital. The same can be said about painting.

The image above was done using ArtRage and Photoshop; the idea was to emulate watercoloring. It is a very simple landscape that can be done in few minutes without having to worry about coloring our clothing. Can the digital experience replace the actual experience of drawing and painting in a real canvas? Probably not; however, still represents a proposition of mental health, if one can spend few minutes a day adventuring in the real world of virtual creation. Enjoy and salud!
