DIGITAL PAINTINGS FROM YOUR VERY OWN PHOTOS
(Oil Giclees on Canvas)

The perfect gift
	Digital painting is a revolutionary technique where a digital artist uses digital paintbrush software to simulate the traditional bristle paintbrush of an authentic oil painting. The result is a Giclee print on artist's canvas that is very similar to an oil painting but that can be done much faster and can be reprinted instantly any number of times that you wish. These digital paintings are also more affordable than regular oil paintings that need much more time and work to be made. Digital paintings are the perfect gift for any occasion. They can be portraits of your family or friends, a house, pet, boat, a landscape or anything that can be reproduced as an image. The only requirement is that the main subject in the photo must appear well defined and not in the shadows. Please note that we also offer the traditional oil painting method to reproduce your photo, if you prefer an authentic hand-made oil painting done with bristle brushes and oil paints, then please click here The process to order a digital painting from you photos is very simple, just click on the following link to choose your options.

How are your digital paintings different from your own hand-painted oil reproductions?
	Digital paintings are completely made digitally; the artists use digital paintbrushes to recreate the rendering of the image. Then a digital printing method (Giclee) is used to print the image directly on the canvas. On the other hand, traditional oil reproductions are 100% hand-made, meaning that real bristle paintbrushes and oil colors are used to paint the image on the canvas, just like any original painting. All examples in this page are digital paintings. You may see for yourself that they are very much like a traditional oil painting (place your pointer over the images to see more detail).
If they almost look the same, what are the advantages of digital paintings?
	The main benefits of the digital painting method are; speed, price and the ability to re-print immediately. Because the inks used do not need time to dry and be ready for the next layer of paint (as is the case in a traditional oil painting), a digital painting is created much faster. In average, the traditional oil painting method takes 3 or more weeks to finish, while only 3 days is what is needed to finish a painting using the digital method. They cost less than a traditional hand-painted oil reproduction and we can re-print any number of copies that you wish in an instant.
