RE: Duomo Project / May 7th Update

in #art6 years ago

Ah, minute improvements, but I think they all add up in the end, and you certainly seem to spend a lot of extra care in these tiny building blocks of your painting, getting the details accurately and making sure the proportions are all in order,... an amazing dedication <3

The repetitive nature to capture and represent this amazing architectural icon in your painting must be immense! But I am glad to see such artistry.... Sometimes, I feel like the art of being conscientious and diligent might be lost in today's world where people are very fond of short cuts and instant gratification...

Ah, well, I am rambling XD Sorry!

Love the update, Matteo <3 Always looking forward to seeing your beautiful posts :)

Thanks! So true, about people wanting instant gratification. I think about the people who made the Duomo, this is a building that is extremely ancient. Workers and artisans would toil their whole lives not see the project even finished. Not even their descendants saw it finished. And we take selfies in front of it like we had anything to do with building it! I am extremely humbled by their achievement, and will not rush this painting.
