The Story of a Digital Painting of an Orange
ART – The Story of a Digital Painting of an Orange
I’m taking a small break from the superhero drawing to brush up and build up some skill in a different form of art. I’m working on my painting.
Earlier in the week, I tried doing something a bit complicated. I tried painting a face. Problem was that I wasn’t accustomed to painting opaque. I didn’t have a method to approach the painting. As I worked on the painting I slowly discovered it.
That said, the painting was a failure and I ended up abandoning it. Fortunately I had learned a lot from doing it so I decided to give it another go. This time though, I thought I’d do something a bit less complex. I needed something much more basic.
I had an orange next to me at my desk. I put a light on it and decided to paint it.
It was crazy hard to do. I was shocked how difficult it was. I just don’t have the experience with painting to draw upon. There are so many painting problem I’ve never solved. Every brush stroke was a new experience.
I managed to paint it though and it looks pretty descent. So I’ll give painting another try and see what happens.
What do you think?
