I teach Blender. UV unwrapping is something the students have a lot of trouble with. For those that don’t know, UV-less painting is usually vertex painting, where each vertex is assigned a color. In this way the resolution of the outcome is

I recently made the move to Affinity Photo. The latest version gives me all I need. Muscle memory is still with Potatoshop, but I’m slowly transferring.

Zen and the art of painting and An actor prepares. These I read when I was a young art student. I learned a lot from the way they mapped the interior process of creative thought.

Not sure that there is a single source, but the potted history is like this: Most paints are pigment (providing the color), extender (bulking it out) and glue. So... to invent oil paint all you had to do was to add oil to your pigment inste

That seems a fair summary of the content. This pdf illustrates beautifully how a new medium is misunderstood before it is understood. It happened when oil paint was 'invented', it happened when the camera was invented, it is happe

> Could you elaborate? There are several things that inform my prefference for 'vanilla' web over slides. 1. Many students are on mobile or a small laptop, and slides do not work well on a small screen. 2. Downloading pdfs can

As a lecturers in a uni, I used to deliver all my lectures using slides, (PowerPoint, Beamer or Keynote). My problem with slides is that my students have a stated preference for knowledge disseminated via simple web pages. So… I switched to

In a place I used to work at, I attended a workplace party where I was approached by a newly hired staff member. His many questions was all very leading, along the lines of: 'I like drugs, do you like drugs?' Apart from the clumsi

Portraiture is a good example of what I mentioned. I am a painter, but I would say that a camera is far more capable of capturing the subtleties of the human face your than a painter. Don't believe me? Search for paintings made before

This is manifestly true. Artists worried that they would be rendered obselete by photography, and to a degree they were correct. Those that survide had to completely redifine their role and how they served that role.

DeviantArt is not the cultural force it once was. All the cool kids moved to Artstation. It is on Artstation images that a lot of these AI tools have been trained.

Thank you for your response. Frankly... sorting the wheat from the cruft is a major task as there has been so much written on the subject. I would recommend that art be separately considered with respect to it's history (time/plac

I would say that complexity is, to a degree, a metric of skill. To be more presice, a skilled coder, writer, painter can put together something that is incredibly complex, yet which also expresses great unity. I see what you are saying abou

Much of the stuff I am talking about can best be appreciated by actually standing in front of the actual painting, not something we can do so easily here in south east Asia. Google arts and culture images give some idea as to the difference

Picasso had the great advantage of being trained in painting since he was a child. His father was a very good painter, and supported and encouraged him a lot. Picasso’s other strength was his refusal to be absorbed by the ever present acade

Absolutely yes. Roussseau was the classic naive and had man limitations,mbut also blissfully unaware of them. Most importantly, he simply loved painting. Picasso had a lot of respect for him and was one of the few to have attended his funer

As a painter and a painting teacher, Hoppers work is a real problem for me. On one hand, his paint handling is terrible. He spreads paint on the canvas like icing sugar on a cake. All the nuance of application I teach he happily ignores… no

To some degree there is only one solution to this problem of arrow cursor design. Vertices, horizontals and 45 degree diagonals render effectively, even on low resolution screens. The arrow head of a mouse cursor consists of: 1 vertical, 1

You all probably know this… Contemporary computing behavior is for the cursor to change to a little hand as it rolls over a link or button. This was first introduced by HyperCard, so it is there as an everyday reminder of its legacy.

When I teach art history, I present a few artists as ‘atom bombs’ for the influence they had. Caravaggio was one of them for the fact that it was perfectly clear that he painted directly from observation. The same cannot be said of Michelan
