Go read this Artsy editorial on artists use of Microsoft Paint in their works: “Microsoft Paint’s Influence On Artists Is Bigger Than You Might Think”
 
Austin Lee, who participated in our previous exhibition Horses with the work Untitled, 2017 (the picture), is one of those artists incorporating MS Paint as part of his practice: “That’s become almost a primary way of thinking,” Lee says. “Even if I’m making a painting with real paint, my brain will go to a color slider first. Certain colors I can’t actually make so I have to fake it by color relationships. For me, digital is a default mode.”
