Description
For the past few years I have been working on a self taught series of exercises to develop a consistent technique to achieve textural effects using an electronic pen and tablet. My goal is to develop a style as close as possible to traditional painting techniques . I used to paint traditionally but digital has opened up a new and exciting challenge which I love to explore..I have bought my own digital paintings on canvas and have experimented by adding a transparent textural gel to the final piece to add a physical tactile sense to my work...very excitng outcome and challenge to try and paint this way but I love it and don't care much about the negative narrow minded opinions brought out by some regarding the value of digital art. I am enjoying myself in this new form of expression because it now has bridged the gap between all forms of mixed media and creative expressions. As a graphic designer all my life I have had to be innovative to command a steady career so I welcome the technology that is being developed by visionary traditional artists and technical developers to launch us into an exciting future of new tools that are easy to play with but not that easy to master.

Love it Bob, painting with a pen and tablet, I find isn't easy, have one but seem never to use it, however, the possibilities are endless.
