Paintography is the linking of a lifetime interest in photography and sketching and painting and my profession as a web and graphic designer. This modern descriptive word for our art is so new it is not in the dictionary yet.
Our aim with this work is to highlight digitism, (the quality and recognition of paintography) and its place in the art world. Our interest in this art form began in the mid 2000’s with Adobe Photoshop and if we had to classify our style of work, we could call it a digital representative of photography, blending the art of traditional painting with the art of photography using the monitor as our canvas and the mouse as our brush.
By using various computer software, filters and custom defined brushes that vary in size and texture, percentage of coverage and pressure, we transform photographs into “paintographs”.
"Paintography, is a unique blend of digital painting and photography".
