The spectacular space battles seen in Star Wars, released in 1977, were created using miniatures, blue screens and optical compositing on plain old celluloid. The film's computer graphics crew? Four. Behind Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace, by contrast, was an army of hundreds of digital effects artists. For Episode II, director George Lucas has said, the live-action scenes will be shot using digital movie cameras, leaving not a single scrap of film on the cutting-room floor.
Bits and bytes, in other words, are rapidly replacing crystals of silver on paper or film as the dominant storage medium for two-dimensional images. Because bits are so malleable, video artists can give visual form to an astonishing new range of ideas.
Consisting mainly of a series of lessons, the book opens with a list of the hardware you may need — computers, printers, graphics tablets etc, followed by a short list of suitable software: Corel Painter, Nik Color Efex Pro, Alien Skin Snap Art, etc.
This list immediately signals the author’s intent, with which you may or may not disagree: in Ms Sholin’s approach, a digital image is best transformed into a ‘painterly’ picture, emulating the work of the impressionist masters.WHY PASTEL PAINTINGS ARE BETTER THAN OIL PAINTINGS: Pastels are more permanent than oils; let me explain. When you think of “Pastel” you may think it synonymous with “Pale,” as in color. This is not the case when referencing pastel paintings. "Pastel" is a French word meaning pure, powdered pigment ground into a paste, with a tiny amount of binder. Pastels include an infinite variety of colors ranging from soft and subtle to bold and brilliant. It is NOT colored chalk, which is made of limestone, but rather pure pigment, the same pigment used in all fine art paints. It is the most permanent of all media! There is no oil added to cause darkening, cracking nor is there other additives to cause fading or blistering. Pastel works from the 16th Century are still as fresh and alive today as the day they were painted. Pastel art works hold their value, in 1983 two Degas works, painted in 1880, sold for more than $3,000,000 each. If the entire canvas is covered with pastel it is called a pastel painting (what I do), if some the canvas is left exposed it is called a pastel sketch.
How to Care for Pastel Paintings: My pastel paintings will come with a finishing spray already applied. . It is important to have the pastel painting matted (to keep it from resting on the glass) and framed under glass. Please take care to not intentionally touch or smear the painting. Get it framed as soon as possible. As with all fine art, keep the painting out of direct sunlight. When transported or not hung, keep the pastel painting face up.
Much attention is paid to dealing with Painter, its toolbars, palettes, brushes etc to such a degree that the book could be viewed as a primer to using the software. The author contends that “Painter is the most sophisticated software for digital painting that has ever been developed.Custom painted corporate portrait paintings in a variety of sizes are available for our business clients.

She uses reference photos but doesn’t render a building exactly from a picture; her photos are admittedly blurry. She uses a small Nikon Coolpix S600 10.0 megapixel digital camera (with a 4X optical zoom) to take the pictures and then simply glances at them while she paints.
