It is rewarding to create by hand and do the duplication by machine,
already.
Why give the machine the power to create for you. The machine creates
choices,
but you are the "decider" artist.... Great!

. Traditional painting is painting with a physical medium as
opposed to a more
modern style like digital. Digital painting differs from other
forms of
digital art

/wiki/Computer-generated_art> , in that it does not involve the
computer
rendering from a model. The artist uses painting techniques to
create the
digital painting directly on the computer. All digital painting
programs try
to mimic the use of physical media through various brushes and
paint effects.
Included in many programs are brushes that are digitally styled to
represent
the traditional style like oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, pen
and even
media such as airbrushing. There are also certain effects unique to
each type
of digital paint which portraying the realistic effects of say
watercolor on a
digital 'watercolor' painting.[1]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_painting#cite_note-0><http://

ia.org/wiki/Digital_painting#cite_note-0> In most digital painting
programs,
the user can create their own brush style using a combination of
texture and
shape. This ability is very important in bridging the gap between
traditional
and digital painting.
