Painting Digitally the Good Old Fashioned Way

I developed my own digital painting method and I want to share this new-found hobby of mine to others, who, like me are wanting to paint again. I want them to again experience the thrill and satisfaction of being able to create and be creative. To be an artist once again. Because artists never die...they just paint away. Once an artist — always an artist.

Why in the world, you may ask, would I want to do “the good old fashioned way” of painting when I can do it easily and in a blink of an eye using the high-tech features of a digital app? Why indeed?

The truth is, creating painting-like-artworks using a digital app gives me that hollow feeling inside. It is kinda weird but that’s exactly how I feel. Even if I made it myself, I cannot truly call it my own creation because anybody and everybody with the same techie knowledge can re-create it.

So right now, I’m back to what I called earlier... the good old fashioned way...back to the basics of painting — using a digital app. Wait, wait, am I confusing myself? Whooops, hold it, hold it! Don’t call the cavalry yet. Yes, I will be using a digital app BUT I will be doing everything M-A-N-U-A-L-L-Y. Instead of using real canvas, brushes and paints, I will be using its digital counterparts (plus some!). It's like fusing together modern technology and skills to create a one-of-a-kind original artwork.
