Description
I used the Inspire Pro app with fine point stylus on my iPad to create this painting of a Coral Tree. Coral trees are beautiful. I photographed an engagement at the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles a month ago and they had these most amazing coral trees there. I have never paid much attention to this tree before; yeah, I saw the red flowers but I never understood why they are called coral tree until I went to look at the trunk. If you click on the image to see a bigger piece of it, you will see that the structure of the tree bark is similar to corals: it has textured spots on it and in order. Of course this is an iPad painting where texture is not possible but I tried my best.
Digital paintings have many advantages over paintings on canvas or paper. The most important of these advantages of digital over "real" is that since digital was created digitally, it will look on canvas or paper once printed exactly as you see it on the monitor and not flat! It is a frequent complaint of buyers after purchasing a print of an oil or acrylic paint on canvas, since on your monitor you see the digitally photographed version of that oil or acrylic paint.
Digital photography of highly textured items like oil or acrylic paint removes all textures and makes them appear flat. You don't get this problem with digital art. You get exactly what you see! It is also green art--meaning it uses nontoxic materials and doesn't kill trees in the making!
