form of art – the Digital Painting. The perennial change in painting
has now utilized the use of digital software and tools to create
artworks. The creation of digital painting relies heavily on the use of
computer and painting software which use paint brush much like
traditional painting. Because of the inclusion of computers or

• Less costly since one does not need to buy art materials when
they ran out.
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other
medium to a surface. The application of the medium is commonly
