Taking progress photos is a pain in the ass; when I'm in the zone the thought of Hive rips me right out of it. Sometimes I paint just for me and don't publish on Hive, just to get the full enjoyment of the process.
I totally agree with you because once you start working on your pieces it needs your total concentration especially on pieces that have delicate parts. For me as a portrait artist when you have to draw for resemblance , it needs all your total concentration so you might not remember to take process shorts meanwhile it is good to follow hive instruction by taking process shots as they totally count, that’s one of the ways to know you are the author of the piece
This is one of those things I look for when browsing the art communities. Then when I actually forget, then I feel bad.. But I try to make up for it with a bit more than 100 words of dialog. hehe.
My thoughts exactly. Sometimes I just want to paint and get lost in it all.. not stop, clean hands, take shot, and get back into it.
I like the way those liquid charcoals look. I'll have to see if I can find them around here and the cost in this area. May be fun to play with. Have you used these?
No, I haven't. I do use Schmincke watercolors and pastels. Highest quality, purest pigments, price commensurate. A real traditional paint maker, with 100+ years of experience.
Stateside you can find Schmincke at Dick Blick, Pearl Arts snd Crafts, Jerry's Artarama, and online from Walmart of all places. 😀
Yes.. I am familiar with the company but never heard of this particular product. You're right though, I should expect nothing but quality out of them. I doubt they would push out anything not worthy of their reputation.
Walmart is similar to Amazon now. They have private vendors that sell under their umbrella site. So one can find almost anything one there, although prices and shipping vary considerably as well as support and trust.
