Creating a digital painting


The digital print above, Shell and Shore, Betty Butler ©2014, explores the abstract beauty of the shell. A charcoal drawing, below, was scanned and enhanced by digital painting and line drawings to portray a feeling of movement. To create contrast, some of the charcoal drawing peeks through in various places.
 
I was honored to win a 2014, 3rd showcase award in the new-media category at ArtSlant.com, a contemporary art network for the above work. Check it out here:
