Vibrant Digital Paintings

Miranda Lambert Uses MS Paint to Create Vivid Outdoor Scenes

— June 6, 2016 — Tech
The work of Miranda Lambert, also known as Lazybones, is something many people will be able to appreciate. That is because she uses a surprising program to create these vivid scenes of a surreal outdoors: MS Paint. That's right, Miranda Lambert uses a childhood staple (at least for those from an older generation) to create pink mountains and abstract female shapes.

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Miranda Lambert may rely on fairly minimalist imagery, but she nevertheless spends hours getting the color gradients and mountain ridges just right. Each painting takes about a day to complete, something she does in her spare time since she is an HR assistant by day. Each work is accompanied by a poignant caption such as "a drawing about finding something and letting it go” and “a drawing about when you leave the party to be alone for a bit.”
Trend Themes
1. Digital Art - Exploring the use of unconventional digital tools, like MS Paint, to create vibrant and unique artworks.
2. Minimalism - Embracing minimalist imagery to create visually striking compositions that evoke emotion and depth.
3. Personal Expression - Using art as a means of personal expression, incorporating poignant captions that deepen the narrative of the artwork.
Industry Implications
1. Fine Art - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing digital tools and unconventional techniques to the traditional world of fine art, expanding possibilities for artists and redefining creative boundaries.
2. Software Development - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing user-friendly digital art platforms that cater to artists of all skill levels, enabling them to create stunning artworks using accessible tools.
3. Creative Industries - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Fostering a space for unconventional mediums and techniques in the creative industries, inviting new perspectives and challenging traditional notions of art and expression.
