William Low: Traditional Illustrator Goes Digital


William Low is an award winning painter & illustrator with a reputation for exploiting light, color, visual perspective and emotion to create images that viewers find an immediate emotional connection with. Even with decades of painting under his belt, William Low continues to grow artistically.

His latest computer paintings reveal a seamless transition from traditional to digital media. He was not surprised that his digital work met with resistance at first, given the computer's reputation for producing cold, sterile images. Utilizing his skills as a painter, William has helped to change this perception. His digital images are remarkable for their emotional depth, color, texture and even their painterly brush strokes. In fact, many people are surprised to learn, when they see his work on the printed page, that the images were not the product of traditional media.

William has created a trio of highly informational and inspiring videos in which he details his digital illustration process:

Artist Kevin Parnell says of Painter, "This program gives me the ability to use so many different media, and to experiment with many different styles. I’ve done a lot of “impressionistic” style images, and now am exploring more “artsy” photo styles."

"Your watercolor brushes that I used were the Gel Wash, Gel Splatter, and Gel Mixer. I also used a little Real Soft Pastel for some of the edge detail, and a Diffuse Camel watercolor brush for some texture. I used French Watercolor paper as the canvas surface."
