Anyways yes working traditionaly from life will increase your knowledge of light much faster then working on the pc. |
I totally disagree.
I think learning traditional is absolutly overestimated.
The big disadvantage is, every traditional medium has its own rhythm forcing you to build up a painting(from light to dark i.e. for watercolors)working against any color-blocking(from rough to fine) rhythm - and i think color-blocking is one of the most important methods to get a sense of light and shadow; just blend out any struggle with "mixing" colors, just "pick" them.
On the PC you don't have to concentrate on the vanity of any traditional medium, you can paint what color/value/saturation you see/is in your mind and it will work on digital-canvas. Traditional its a horrible fight to get a special value in a special color in a special saturation - while everytime you mix the color or edit the value a bit, the saturation will be affected, and if you want to have a medium-saturated color on your palette in a bit higher dense, your fucked up; all the time i tried to paint tradional i struggle extremely, because the medium is ignorant to the artists needs.
(and to this, append the struggle with drytime and of course colorchange in drytime)
Also i think, to paint "directly from life" is overestimated as well - you have to observe all you see in life, but its imho not necessary(i guess it will slow you down as well) to put it immidiately on canvas; the better way is imho to recognize all you see and mix it at home with your previous knowledge, so you force yourself to concentrate on the keypoints while observing; while painting directly from life will give you the chance not to think about as much.
And i think i have a very good sense of value, saturation and color, as you can see in my gallery of digital speedpaintings.
And all my knowledge is based on learning digital in a - i think - very short time and i have my serious doubts traditional would get me any faster in there - on the contrary i guess traditional would have slow me down.
(i started painting digital 2001/2002 - tried some times traditional, but never get into it)

Great work everyone, there is so much talent to learn from here. I hope one day I can do better on composition and brush strokes.
Not really a speedie at two hours, but none the less

Duracel... I agree with you and I've been seriously invloved with both traditional and digital. Rather than get into a big discussion here in the Speed Thread, start up a discussion on the topic in the Discussion section... I'll chime in there!

I was going to add to the discussion here but I just realized that it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of opinion anyway.
But maybe the brain improves when it think it improves hence it is a choice of our own where to find the improvement, hmm deep enough?
acrylic scribble, haven't decide about the cast-shadow and such yet.(scanned in 6 parts)

Awesome work MikkoK, nice to see you posting again. Some huge development from the last work I've seen from you ages ago!
Freebooter - considering you haven't done too much coloured work, I was surprised by how rich your colours are! Keep it up and continue to do stuff from refrence once in a while.
Popeye, Watmough, Spooge and everyone, great work!

sigh, I've been lazy this past several weeks (damn you grand theft auto). Awesome work as always everyone. Heres something I did for a friend, who wrote the poem and wanted a picture that went along with it.
