Artist and illustrator, Max Wootton, paints in oils and acrylic; draws in pen and ink, often with the addition of colour; and creates ballpoint art.

Most recently, Max has added digital technology to paints, brushes and pens to create a collection of luminous, Abstract Art canvases, using a unique, complex method that he has developed. He may start from a sketch or drawing, or he may work directly within the digital medium from an inspiration or vision.

From an original creative starting point Max then builds a complexity of 100’s of digital layers that may be merged or split at different stages. He experiments with the unique features that digital technology enables, such as transparency of colours and layers that can be used to produce an incandescent quality.

As David Hockney famously said, digital technology is a medium, replacing or supplementing a former technology of paints, crayons, inks.  Only a genuine artist can create authentic art this way.
