I'm sorry to admit, but paying closer attention to the detail and reading the blog, made me examine it closer. And more interested in your work. Are there people who excell at programs such as this and don't do as well with freehand? Or do people usually do well at both?Totally Random Hobbieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012376692360562566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047667929602633950.post-78951945325885761662010-04-08T23:56:38.384-07:002010-04-08T23:56:38.384-07:00That is a very cool video.

It is a nice little speed tutorial on technique. It even goes to show the many levels that a single piece may have so this is a great eduactional piece as well as entertaining. I typically (not always have) paint traditionally with oil on canvas in modern abstract styles mostly. I do on occaission draw and paint on a tablet, from life or a picture. It is nice to conserve and to not have to manage paper, filing, storage etc. It is good to keep the eye working with the hand as an excercise regardless of style. Painting from life or photo does this extremely well. I appreciate painting even more when I get back to a canvas and I always learn something new with each drawing or painting. It has always been this way. Why paint? Why not take a picture? A picture can never add the life that a painting can. That's it! Many non-artists will never get it (maybe) that's probably why camera's were invented. Thank You for your post.
