Learning How To Paint
For the past few months, I have been messing around with photo-manipulation in Photoshop. I've spent a lot of my free time creating mashed up images of landscapes and architecture that I found from random photos around the internet. But using existing photos to create an image really limits the imagination. It made me want to learn how to actually paint, so I've decided to learn how to paint digitally. I've never painted traditionally before so the whole idea of painting is new to me.
Below are some of the pieces that I have done in the last month. My intention is to create an overall mood with the painting and not worry too much about details. They are very beginner level and I would heavily appreciate any feedback.
If anybody is familiar with drawing or painting and you have any advice for me, I would love to hear it. Thanks!
These are really cool. I agree with @pfunk in the way of adding something in the foreground. These do make up some rad backgrounds, a small addition would make the eye drawn to it and pop!! can't wait to see some more, upped and followed
Learning how to paint is a rewarding and expressive journey. Whether using watercolors, acrylics, or oils, each stroke brings new challenges and joy. Beginners often start with basic techniques, like blending and shading, before moving on to more complex compositions. One way to stay inspired is by studying famous artists. yoshitomo nara known for his unique, emotive characters, serves as a great example of how personal style can evolve through painting. His work reminds aspiring artists that it's okay to be different. Embrace mistakes, keep practicing, and let your creativity shine on the canvas.
