The first book to systematically investigate the new visual language of digital painting. In less than sixty pages, 'Digital Painting' offers a complete overview of the characteristics of digital painting and insight in its five main directions: computer generated, raster, vector, hybrid painting and new photography. All features are provided with clear illustrations. In addition to practical topics like: how can unique works and limited editions be effectively protected? the book offers a useful tool to answer a more philosophical question: if art is defined as a creative human effort, how should we regard computer-generated painting?
