As both a traditional pastel artist and digital artist, I believe they both have their unique qualities, but digital art offers several advantages that make it a better choice for both artists and clients. One key benefit is its versatility—digital painting allows for easy revisions, unlimited layers and color palette, without the limitations of traditional mediums. More importantly, it allows me to charge only a commission fee, not a commission and materials fee, making it more cost-effective for the client.

Unlike pastel art, which can be vulnerable to smudging or fading over time, digital paintings will never fade and can be reproduced in various sizes or formats without loss of quality. If a digital art print is lost or damaged in transit to the client, I still have the file available, saving time and money, and avoiding client disappointment. And if some unexpected damage from a home fire or natural disaster should occur, you can always contact me for a replacement.

Digital Paintings are eco-friendly as they reduce the need for physical art materials like pastel paper and pastels, while still allowing for stunning, lifelike detail and vibrant color.
