Art preferences - digital or traditional?

[EveningStars]

I make mixed media landscape paintings in both traditional and digital media.
My problem is that I have grown to actually prefer my digital paintings, which I draw on my ipad software. They have a glow and creaminess that I can't achieve with traditional paint. Since part of my monthly income comes from my creative work I am keen to hear opinions about preferences.

My digital works sell at lower price points but can be sold in quantity, yet I rarely see digital landscape art on the market. I am wondering if this will put me at a disadvantage?
I am currently working with a couple of companies who distribute them for me, but can't decide which to focus on full time. I have a feeling that 'fine art' landscapes would attract a market that was less likely to want digital editions. I am happy to go either way, and do enjoy my traditional work, but it would help me to focus on one or the other since it is attached to my income.

Everyone has wildly varied and very subjective opinions about what constitutes good art, so you may very well think mine is crap! I will post two examples of my digital paintings here to give an idea of my style. So basically, if you saw these online, would you be disappointed that they were digital? I don't mind the answer, it will inform me either way.

This is a really interesting question.

I saw the recent Hockney exhib in London and love his iPad work. But - I think that there might be a majority of people who don't understand the skill needed for digital art, or its value.

This is certainly made worse by the advent of AI. I think it would be hard to convince most people without a particular interest that digital art is any different from AI. And that might devalue it significantly.

I'm not a true expert but have a degree in art and galleries are a hobby.

My take would be that physical art will always command more value than digital - not least because of the uniqueness.

But I also believe that we should do whatever makes us happy in life.

Does the value comparison fit with your experience?

@Luckingfovely Thanks for that, and it makes complete sense. I have a hunch that AI is going to skewer the digital market in years to come, but could be wrong. I suppose it depends whether a buyer wants wall art or something to keep forever/invest in, and since I am far from famous I generally consider myself privileged to sell any!

On the traditional market I sell less (quality) yet seem to collect more interest. If people don't know the media they presume all my work is traditional.

I usually much prefer traditional art. But looking at your digital art it seems that's because most of the digital art I've seen before just isn't that good. Yours is beautiful!

Thanks so much @QueenOfTheEntireFuckingUniverse!

I do think I would work better with oils in this style but am working in an open plan space with family at the moment so am concerned about the smell.
