Painting is an age-old art form, something that has been there since eternity. With the digitization of everything around us, this art form has also developed and grown into digital painting. Digital painting is an emerging form of art where the traditional tools of painting like brush, canvas, oil paint, acrylic or watercolors, inks, etc., are not required at all and are instead replaced by digital painting software where everything is digitally applied.
