There's something about using real paint and knowing that there's an original out there somewhere..... but I guess there's little motivation to do a painting with real paint for a studio that ends up archiving it in some wearhouse forever huh....:(Erwin Madridhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05695189224815557291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321274929017352002.post-89273696108415177152008-01-26T16:39:50.192-08:002008-01-26T16:39:50.192-08:00Shuku,Yes, Half Dome is a the name of an amazing g...Shuku,<br>Yes, Half Dome is a the name of an amazing granite mountain in Yosemite National Park in California...or what's left of it anyway. I believe it was formed during the last ice age by glaciers. Some time later, half of it collapsed, leaving the signature "half dome" that exists today.<br><br>Boky,<br>You know, I've been painting digitally for almost 20 years now, and I'm still struggling to do digitally, what I could do so easily with real paint. This painting, for instance, I did in about 5 hours. I know I would have taken me about twice as long to paint digitally. <br><br>Erwin wrote,<br>"...there's little motivation to do a painting with real paint for a studio that ends up archiving it in some warehouse forever..."<br><br>You said it!!!! I don't know how many of my originals are in some dark archive somewhere. It depresses me to even think about it.
