RE: Ocean Dusk - A New Pseudo-Abstract Digital Painting
I like it, but I think you should try it on a big canvas (when you never tried it before)
It's so much fun :-) especially with high class paints like Old Holland, Michael Harding or Vasari.
OMG I fee I have to paint, when I write about it
:-D
Thanks. Yes I really need to get back into painting for real - it is a lot easier than doing it on computer and the results (for me when I used to do it) were a lot better. I just don't have the space right now but hopefully won't be too long until I can get my own house with a proper space for doing art.
Hmm I know what you mean... An own atelier would be amazing or at least a small extra room. I paint just with selfmade sub thickened oil most of the time and in my room. Its a quite big one. For glazes I have a balcony.
I keep my fingers crossed for you and that you get your house soon :-)
Will probably be a long time as I am just getting back to real work and will be some time before I can afford it.
And I should try paint digital one day.
You should - I think some people do really amazing work with it but for me the hardest part is that you are not actually looking where you are drawing - it seems to screw up the hand eye co-ordination for me. Plus the pen that you have to use is nothing like a brush and it can't replicated the different shapes that different pens, pencils and brushes have as a physical object. There is one pen and you use it for all brush sizes and types so you lose a lot of the feel of actually using a particular type of brush or pen. The advantages are that it is much cheaper, cleaner and you can mix all kinds of materials that would be impossible in real life.
