Digital Art - Digital Painting/photographic Art

Description

An ORIGINAL digital painting accomplished in layers beginning with a very abstract base layer. The reference image was found among public domain pictures at publicdomain.net but the finished painting bears little resemblance to the small original photograph.

Mo'orea is a high island in French Polynesia, one of the Windward Islands, part of the Society Islands, that lies 11 miles northwest of Tahiti. More properly spelled Mo'ore'a, the name of the island means "yellow lizard" in Tahitian.

Considered by some to be the most beautiful island in the world, Mo'orea is a popular honeymoon destination. According to the Tahitian Tourist Bureau, Mo'orea is called "The Magical Island." The Bureau goes on to describe the 10 mile wide island in this way:

"A few minutes from the island of Tahiti by plane, and only thirty minutes by high-speed catamaran, Mo'orea soars magically out of the ocean in an explosion of green velvet - what you would imagine a South Seas island to be.

A wide, shallow lagoon surrounds the island's vertical mountains where poetic threads of waterfalls tumble down fern-softened cliffs. Peaceful meadows flanked by pinnacles of green will fill your senses and renew your belief in the majesty of nature. Pastel-painted houses surrounded by gardens of hibiscus and birds of paradise, circle the island in a fantasy of happy, yet simple villages."

Many of my paintings, including this one, follow a process similar to early chromolithography in that each section of the painting is often a different layer. Wikipedia describes the process of chromolithography as multi-layered, sometimes requiring 25 to 50 layers to achieve the colors and fine details.

The difference between that process and my own is that in my case I may paint the entire layer originally in a very abstract underpainting then repaint the next layer in a slightly less abstract style, then another layer in a realistic oils or impasto, etc. Another layer may be to deepen the color of only certain areas requiring the "erasing" of all but one small part of the image. Almost all of my paintings require anywhere from 10-30 layers to complete, some as many as 50.

I am a western New York based artist with a passion for the sea and a deep love for the natural world around me. My paintings are sometimes based on images in the public domain or on elements from classic art work. Other paintings are based on original photographs. All are painted on a Wacom tablet using a variety of painting programs and filters and because the final creations are entirely digital in nature they are considered to be original art work not reproductions.


This painting is considered an ORIGINAL digital art work created on the computer from a small copy of a public domain painting or photograph, recreated and hand-painted on a Wacom tablet using a variety of painting styles and digital mediums. According to the International Association of Fine Art Digital Print Makers (IAFADP), "An original digital print is not based upon using original artwork outside of the computer. The artist may use elements as source materials, such as photographs, drawings or other appropriated images (those in the public domain), but THE FINAL FORM OF THE WORK EXISTS ONLY IN THE COMPUTER AND AS THE FINAL PRINT OR AS AN EDITION OF PRINTS." Furthermore, according to ArtBusiness.com, there is a distinct difference in value between a print/scan of an original watercolor, painting or photograph "...as opposed to original digital works of art created by digital artists entirely or in part on computers which ARE considered to be unique." This is exactly how I create my original works and each painting is the result of many layers of hand-painting in various styles (impasto, pen and ink, digital oils, etc.) then overlaid upon one another.

You can purchase quality traditional style fine art prints of these digital paintings, giclee canvas prints, acrylic and metallic prints by Lianne Schneider. They are beautiful and stylish decor for any wall in your home, office or lobby. My works include detailed landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, flowers and more...all with the look and feel of classic oil paintings. The FAA-Watermark will NOT appear on any final product!

Please contact the artist, Lianne Schneider, directly if you purchase this image as a giclee print on canvas, framed or unframed. A signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity is available for each canvas indicating title of the work, my name, date of creation, a thumbnail of the painting, the origin of original work if the painting is a derivative, the number of your print in the limited printing and a guarantee that the work will no longer be available to the public in a canvas format once a total of 25 canvas prints are sold from all potential vendors.
