One that I describe as through the looking glass.…Just because digital painting apps can emulate traditional media,…doesn't mean that's all they can do.…In the digital realm, all things are possible.…Mediums that were formerly exclusive now occupy a level playing field.…What would it be like to dip a paint brush into a photograph?…Instead of painting all of the individual leaves on a tree,…what if you could just paint with leaves?…This is the world of digital painting as seen through the looking glass.…
Like Alice, let's take a short trip down the rabbit hole.…
