This isn't watercolor!
or 
Pushing the Boundaries

Here's a little personal history:
Many of you know that I came to watercolor from the world of computers, not the world of art. I had been working with illustration software that was, at the time, incapable of soft edges, fluidity or serendipity. A very astute CCSF teacher said "Get thee to the Art department and a watercolor class." (Although he did not use Shakespearean grammer.)
So, image my surprise and delight, when a few years ago, Adobe created a rudimentary watercolor brush, that was limited, but in the right direction. They (and other platforms) have continued to improve and expand the quality of digital watercoloring, and that makes me happy.

So, my question is: Is "Digital Watercolor" watercolor?
Whatever your belief, here is a great article. Be sure to follow the links!
