RE: On the Eve of Progress
c'mon, really? i have always wanted to reach that kind of detail, but well, you probbably are looking for another kind of result that will be even more awesome than this one. when you finally obtain that result you are looking for, i hope me to be there to watch it. congratulations for having such a great talent.
You have my follow <3
Yes really! Look at all of the great Master painters, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Velasquez, yes, they had detail, but, in the right spots, the rest of the painting is lacking in detail and even clarity. It is about leading the viewer's eye to what is important, and letting their own imagination fill in the details of the rest. That, is the true magic of painting, an understatement that hits you at full force, verses a loud symphony with all instruments at full blast.
The same goes for colour. Less is more. Once I understood these principles and started applying them in my work, I started making progress in leaps and bounds.
