Hi there, Liron here! And today we’ll talk about authentic visual and artistic creation!
Authentic Creation
This is an idea I’ve been thinking about for a long time now.
Authentic creation, in the visual / painting context, refers to painting / representing things the way YOU truly see them.
It means really observing what you are painting, and interpreting it your way.
Second-Hand Visual Representation
This refers to gimmicks. Painting people the way Alvaro Castagnet does, for example.
Now – if this really is your authentic visual interpretation – go for it! My point here is to encourage you to listen to your own artistic voice.
There’s a reason why the best of the best artists tend to have very unique styles.
This is Something I am Working On
It’s important for me to give you the right context for this episode. This is something I’m still dealing with.
I’ll sometimes notice myself going into “auto-pilot” mode, but not in a positive way. I’ll see a tree, and instead of painting it AS I SEE IT, I’ll paint it the way I know a tree is, or the way I saw someone else paint it.
So if you’re dealing with this – we’re on the same boat!
Conclusion
This is what I wanted to discuss today. I’m curious to hear your thoughts and experiences with this. Is this something you think about / deal with too?
