Ughh.
People are doing "digital painting" now. Neat for a cheap print, looks good.
But compared to brush and oil i think it borders insulting. Look at the great actual paintings, the talent, hands on. No simple "undo, or revert back" , Digital editing, like the way it went in movie special effects, neat to look at. But something just cheesy or talentless in it. Computer geek vs. Artist. Not even the same world.
I paint and photo (neither much anymore). But i see a vast difference between someone putting oil on canvas and someone staring at a computer screen with algorithms. Please .Please. Let digital editing and digital painting NEVER be put in the same category as true painting. It is like sculpting vs buying a 1000 dollar 3d printer. Just no, just no. Make it go away!! It must be what people bad with art but good with technology do.
"Digital artist" sounds like a oxymoron.
I am happy to note that, seeing digital paintings being devalued, borderline worthless from what i can see. Gives me hope that the general public sees the difference between a paint brush and a computer algorithm
