Background: Digital painting can refer to creating art in two different ways. First, digital painting can involve using a robotic arm to produce a painting thru traditional means by applying acrylic paint, oils, ink, watercolor, etc. to such things as woven canvas cloth, paper, polyester etc. The second type of art that digital painting refers to involves using a computer graphics software program, a virtual canvas, and virtual painting box of brushes, colors and other supplies. The virtual box has several instruments that do not exist outside the computer, and this gives a digital artwork a unique aspect that can not be reproduced with traditional art techniques.
