My Digital Painting Process

I have come to digital painting from a traditional fine art background, working for over 20 years in mediums such as oil paint on canvas and pastels.

A couple of years ago I started applying this knowledge and experience to digital painting.

Watch this short video to see my set up and how I create a digital painting, building an image up from scratch, in the same way I would if using oil paint or pastel.


Auto Union Case Study

This is a mini showcase of my painting of a Dinky Auto Union racing car. Here I am incorporating two angles of the same toy within the composition to evoke the full effect.

I am using a special software, created by artists, which replicates the textures and feel of traditional mediums exceptionally well. My medium of preference is oil paint on canvas, which is what I am using here.


Aston Martin Case Study

A little glimpse into a work in progress, this time of the Dinky Aston Martin. Here I am exploring how the famous yellow Dinky Toy box can be incorporated into the painting along with the iconic Aston Martin logo. Like before I am working with oil paints and brushes onto a textured canvas surface.


Finishing Options

Digital paintings can be viewed as a high-resolution digital image and/or professionally printed and framed.

Finishing options as follows:

  • A simple, unframed/ unmounted print

  • A framed print without mount

  • A framed print with mount

With a choice of 3 different frame options: white, natural wood and black
