Smita Rao has developed a unique technique to create her digital landscapes. She layers photographs, watercolor paintings, and pencil drawings using computer tools. By combining these layers, merging them by applying certain aspects of each medium, she is able to retain the integrity of all the mediums to create one cohesive composition. The final step is to use computer drawing tools to further enhance the piece.
The transparency and depth thus achieved give her work an ethereal quality. Her digital works of art have already generated a large following in Bucks County.
Smita's final works are printed by a master printer on state of the art professional ink-jet printers using archival inks and paper. Each work is pencil signed and numbered, and then archivally matted and framed.
