I had so much fun last week creating my first digital
artwork, “On the River,” that I had to follow it up with another! It is a very
different process creating art on a computer than painting with a brush. If I
was working on an ipad with pen then I know that it wouldn’t feel as different,
but instead I am using a track pad to create these works on my laptop. Another
first for me was creating a winter scene with snow, something that I have not
painted before.
I am still exploring the many features available with
Inkscape, and discovered the “overlay” option under “filters” called “frost.” I
also used a wonderful gradient tool for the sky. The trees and snow were
painted in with the “calligraphy tool”, using grays and blues.
Here is the piece before I added the frost filter:
"Snow Day." Original Digital Art by Charles Wolf.
Here it is after:
"Snow Day." Original Digital Art by Charles Wolf.
Question of the Day:
Do you like the piece better with the frost filter or without?
Let me know in the comments below or on the
I hope you enjoyed seeing my art, and I am looking forward
to creating more pieces like this digitally. Of course, I plan to keep using
the traditional methods to paint, but it is fun to mix things up once in a
while. I may even paint a few painting on canvas based on these digital
paintings at some point.
Have a fantastic artistic day,
—Charles
