Digital Mixed Media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Digital Mixed Media Sometimes misinterpreted with above if this is completed in one step.
It is Mixed Media only if the digital print is only one step as part of the
process and it is then printed out on canvas or paper with additional work on
the print afterwards. It can be combined or placed on top as painting is today
with almost any other art or craft method: example acrylics, gel, or oils
by brush or palette knife.
Using the new tools of the digital era, along with traditional oil, acrylics,
watercolor etc. the differences between a traditional painter and digital artist
photographer have become minimized. The photographer and artist through mixed media
can now easily cross over and erase the thin line that separates Photography and Painting.
A Painting can be created on canvas. If we look back this same method used as early as the
1850s by Photographer Mathew Brady and famous artists to project a photograph on to canvas
as a guide and then to put oil paints on top. These are now hanging in our National Portrait
Gallery in Washington D. C. and are designated as oil paintings.
