Photographers can use Photoshop to create an art object which is a photograph; however, a painting is made in the world of materials, has dimension and form and smell and surface texture which can only truly be seen in looking at that painting, that object. A painting put online is a mere trace of the original, like a photo of a painting in an art magazine or history book. The medium needs to be in its original to be experienced, all other is a just ghostly reference. Dawn Dale, artistDawn Dalehttp://www.dawndale.comnoreply@blogger.com
