Mixing Traditional and Digital Media

One thing that I've started to do recently is trying to mix my traditional paintings with digital artwork. Basically, you scan - or take a photo of - one of your paintings. Then you can import it into Photoshop and incorporate it into one of your digital pieces. You can either use it for something simple like a textured background, or do something really complex.

This is an example of a painting that would make a good background.


And this, I've been working with on-and-off for a while. It uses the watercolors in a much more active way. (Its obviously not done yet.)


Here are some examples of amazing mixed-media works.
