— February Flowers —
An Instagram “February Flowers” Art Challenge!
Today’s #28FEBRUARYFLOWERS2023 prompt is “Mint,” So here you have it. I made a digital painting in Photoshop for the “Mint” prompt.
Digital painting is a bit laborious for me. But, today, I was sitting at my computer and thought, “Oh, I’ll just do today’s flower digitally!”
For some reason, I always think its a quick and easy way to get a painting done, but honestly, I don’t love the process.
I definitely prefer smushing oil paint around on a canvas or ink and watercolor on paper!
The nice side of digital paintings, is that they are easily shared!
The other cool thing about digital paintings, is that, yes, they are original art!
I can print the paintings on my printer or to a canvas print vendor. But they are always an original piece of art!
The reason why my digital paintings are “originals” and not “prints” is that they are not prints of an original! The digital file is the original!
Have a “Minty” Day!
