Скажите им, пусть столько не рисуют. Примечание: художник в курсе существования фотографии: I get the ideas for my paintings by traveling around, sometimes in my local neighborhood and sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles from home. I take lots of photographs. I mostly work from photographs, often combining several to create an image. Occasionally, I lug a portable easel on site and paint en plein air. In an ideal world I would work no other way. I learn more about painting the landscape from doing one painting in the field than I do from doing twenty paintings done in the studio, no joke. Photography is a bad substitute for the real thing, and it's amazing how deceptive photographs can be as source material. ... That said, using photos as source material does have its advantages. For starters, it's just not possible to paint a sunset from life, no one can paint that fast. The effect of the setting sun on clouds changes from second to second. Very often I will take a scene photographed at midday, or in the rain, and change the light to that wonderful inbetween time of dawn, late light, or twilight. I don't ever just copy a photo. A painting should not be an enlargement of a photograph done in paint (unless you are one of the few Photorealists who can pull this off). And another thing. Sometimes people tell me about one of my paintings, "Oh, it looks just like a photograph!" As if the photograph were the be-all end-all of visual perfection, and as if getting a painting to look like a photograph were the ultimate in artistic skill and accomplishment. I am not a Photorealist, so if all people are getting out of one of my pieces is that it looks like a photograph, then it's a failure in my book. For me the photographic source is something to be used, changed, played with, and transcended. http://www.art.net/studios/visual/Chart |
