I paint on the
computer the same way that I have always done, the
computer imitates the type of media I decide to
use; like oils, watercolours, pastels or chalks. I
use the same skills - you can't immediately paint
using the computer if you can't paint the
traditional way, though of course you can learn to
paint on the computer as you can on real paper or
canvas.
Using the computer I can of course use some extra things it offers, such as playing around with the final colour and value after I have finished painting. I do not use the 'turn a photo into a painting with one click' features that some software programmes have, for they rarely priduce a pleasing effect, and quickly bore the eye.
The one difference is in my abstract work, where I do not paint but compose a picture from several abstract images produced by fractal image programmes.

The site is worth a look. Here is a fun one I did: flowers
I sell my work through redbubble. Not all of my work is there but I am gradually adding it.
If there is something you would like but it is not there, email me and I will add it if suitable.
Go to my redbubble page
There you can browse, buy cards, framed prints, mounted prints and canvas prints.
If you would like a size different to those available on redbubble, email me and I can arrange a canvas print from a different manufacturer. I can also provide Giclée prints on art paper.
High quality Giclée printing. This is far superior to normal fine art prints. Giclée printing give a similar look to real painting because it uses pigment inks not printer dyes The printing is done on high quality cotton paper (known as rag paper) and has a nice texture.
