(1.) Digital Painting


This "painting" was created using Paintbrush, a program for Macs similar to MS Paint on Windows. It's nostalgic in a way because it is such a basic program but I remember using it when I was in grade school as a way of drawing and experimenting. While the aesthetic is very different from what I would like out of a painting, the process was still layering, playing with textures of brushes (kind of) and densities of color. The only frustrating part was that MS Paint lacks any possibility for transparency and playing with opacity so layers only become covered, and cannot be viewed.
