I don't mean to be rude, it's just that in my experience all but the best and fastest artists takes more than a few hours to do a good painting with traditional media. Regards time and money, I just feel that if you are going to use alot of canvas and paint, it would be better to spend more time on individual paintings that will help you learn important skills, rather than doing them in volume for the sake of showmanship.

War is quite right. Also, you do all your paintings from imagination. Thats a huge mistake. You try to skip all the practice, all the development, all the years of trying to improve and hardship and you just skip along to the end part and try to cover up the fact with "emotions" and "meanings" in your paintings instead of "skill" and "craftsmanship". Good for you. Normal people will appreciate your effort, but for the most part, people who do art long term wont.

limp bizkit plays in your blog, i immediatly closed it there after...

[artmaker]

okay..here goes..deep breath....oooooooooooooooosh.

1.New artist, no longer the emo guy.

2.Agreed there are things you can achieve by labouring at a painting,which i also do, but this is something else, chck it out daily, you might like it.
(painting is about making decisions,in this short itme i just got to make them quicker, now that's a kind of training..and it does improve my craft)

the impressionist finished their paintings in a few hours.

i once went to a huge exhibition(100+big paintings), featuring realistic oil paintings, by some chinese guy, i thought it was his life's work..then the artist walks in, and tells us this was all done the year before, he takes a maximum of 3 days..he can do one in 30 hours.

picasso made close to 30,000 artworks in his life, do the math.

thanks for the comments tho, and i hope you guys follow me through this journey. maybe give me a chance to defend my skill& craftmanship + throw in some ideas and emo.

I'm investing the time because i think it's worth while, the money well, i sell alot of paintings, i can afford it:)

there's a pause button & volume controls for the music..

cheers!

I know that top painters can do paintings in a short space of time, I said as such in my previous post. But are you honestly comparing yourself to picasso or the great impressionests? And as for the other example, this artist would have had to work long and hard to be able to do works at a high standard in a short time. I caution you not to fall into the trap of thinking that the hallmark of a good artist is speed and not quality. The point is to do great paintings, how long they took is irrelevant. On that note I will, however, watch to see how your project goes, and maybe it will be a case of foot, meet mouth.

[artmaker]

thanks for the support then!..that is checking on the progress...

and about being compared to the great artist...yeah that's the idea.

not in the next 30days no..but in the course of my artistic career.

ming.

ps: chin yew made a handful of really good paintings in the 30days. makes the not nice ones worth it i think.

one artist once said, everyone has a few thousand bad drawings to get out of their system before they can start making good drawings.

i think you can find the odd good drawing in between.
