Digital painting: painting on a screen
Can you image Velázquez, Van Gogh, Picasso, and many other great artists replacing canvas and paint with a screen? That ‘s digital painting: a virtual canvas -the traditional medium- and virtual brushes and colors. David Hockney’s Fresh Flowers is a good example of this method of creating art.
Now, I recommend you to do the listening activity on page 9 in your Workbook, so you know a little more about the artist and the new technique.
Finally, I suggest these two links to previous entries on the topic of picture description. :
