The digital painting is the new type of art, where traditional technicians (water-colour, oil) are imitated by means of computer and software. All programs for the digital painting imitate the use of instruments through brushes and coloured effects. In such programs, brushes are recreated by the technicians of the traditional painting (oil, acrylic, pastel, feather and others like that).
