As much as we love tablets and Photoshop, there's something almost carnal in traditional art. There has always been a big gap between digital and traditional art, and everyone who has ever tried to scan or take a photo of a painting or a drawing knows it never looks as beautiful as the original. Yet here are a few artists that didn't only overcome this difficulty but have an extraordinary talent and a remarkable style.



Jacub's watercolor achieves an incredibly romantic and elegant realism.


Marcos Rey has this incredible skill to mix color with grayscale and to capture the delicate nature of female form.


Chang's colors are not just vivid, they glow. And if you take a look at his gallery you'll see that traditional art is not his only talent.


One of my idols, Jason paints such still life that he make me wonder if we need cameras. I'm still amazed at how he captures the beauty of glass.


The thing that leaves me in awe in Bob's paintings is his unique style. There's something very mystical and sensual about his women.


One of the most harmonic and colorful artists I've seen, Radina gives a beautiful touch to such frequently painted things as flowers. Her landscapes bring me back home.


I can only gaze in awe at Merethe's skill to give emotions to objects. Her "trapped" fruit is extremely amusing.
