I can't stop laughing at all these 15 year olds in twitch chat shouting "LORE DUMP" every time Bob mentions some old trapper who lives in a cabin or the horse that drinks in the stream or whatever

MiracleFlare posted:Watching this is really getting me interested in learning how to paint again, or at least getting back into sketching; I've even been digging through my old art projects. And cringing a bit. And knowing exactly what I'd redo if I had the resources to do so. Long story short I haven't been able to make physical art in over five years, but this is reminding me how fun it was, and especially how much I liked oil paints even though I only used them twice. I'm still not in any position to buy art supplies, but maybe one day I'll finally be able to have my own canvases and oil paints... maybe you should become a novellist

At least I've got a tablet I can use to practice color and value with, even if it's the textures I miss the most.

At work we've got original portraits by people like reubens, van dyck ( ), Gainsborough etc and cause I work here I can get right up close with them and let me tell you that even the most spectacular paintings in history look crude as gently caress up close. There's one in particular of Charles I in armour by van dyck and from a distance it looks so delicate and gently done, and then you get up close and you can see how the reflections on his armour* are just smeared white paint that could have been scraped on with bob ross's knife (they look absolutely perfect from a few feet away). Canaletto was the same too - you get up close to it and his human figures are just indistinct smudges of paint, but from a distance they're perfect little people.It's more than simply skill with a brush that makes a great painter imo - it's the ability to anticipate how the brain fills in missing details, about mastry of colour tones and lighting, scale, perspective etc. Actual skill or technique with a brush seems to be one of the least important aspects of once you reach a bare minimum of talent. It's all a roundabout way of saying that I think (with lterally zero artistic training or experience lol) that that bob ross technique might not be a distinct and separate way of painting to traditional fine art - all that differentiates a bob ross from a van dyck is a mastery of something other than the ability to manipulate a brush - it's a knowledge of all that ephemeral stuff like lighting, anatomy, perspective etc. e: im gay e: this is the van dyck one:  If I'm passing later and anybody is interested I'll try and get a snap of the armour from a little closer. communism bitch fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Nov 5, 2015 |

 So here's the portrait as you'd usually see it, but get up close (and we're not talking microscopic here) and....  poo poo looks like it was slapped on by a bricklayer with a trowel. But it doesn't detract from the whole picture at all. I hope that comes across - i'm phoneposting and I don't know if imgur is going to gently caress with the resolution or whatever until I can look at it on my desktop when I get home.
