Q. What are some of the advantages that digital paint and draw programs offer over the traditional mathods (canvas and paint).

There are many advantes of this program as it allwos you to undo or change things you have already done, whereas when you are painting of canvas you have to either start again, covers the mistake or rub it out (which sometimes leaves a mark).

Some other advantages of this program include;

- not using the material physically.
