A quick digital painting

Revisiting an abstract painting I did almost exactly two years ago, I decided to see if I could recreate it digitally. This was done using a spiral shape imported from Adobe Illustrator and various gradients, layer effects and the "drips" added with the stylus of my Wacom tablet in Photoshop.


Abstract art really isn't "my thing" but I think I'll have to learn how to do it because realism is obsolete these days.

I like digital art because it's fun, easy to undo mistakes and no mess to clean up afterward.  It also satisfies my OCD by approaching a level of 'perfection' not possible with traditional media.

For a visual of the actual painting.
