Hi Everyone
I have been battling for quite some time now to have my style of art (Digital Art) accepted in the wildlife art world. I have won many awards, been juror for large art competitions & sold numerous paintings but have been turned away from every wildlife art society and most galleries because my art has been done digitally.
It is so frustrating. I paint exactly the same way. Instead of a standard brush I use a digital brush, instead of a canvas I paint onto my tablet. The end result is a Giclee stretched canvas print (with pigment inks) that will not fade for 100-200 years.
Funny how lithography or silk screening like Warhol is art but using a digital brush is not. I guess I have chosen a style that is new and will still take many years before it is completely accepted.
A big thanks to Davina from Horses in Art who published an article of mine called ‘Traditional Art vs Digital’ in her brilliant magazine.
Please take a moment to read this article in Horses in Art. It is well worth the read not to mention the magazine showcases some of the worlds best Equine Artists.
Unfortunately I am going to have to give in slightly to the pressures of going back to traditional painting for now. I guess I am lucky that I can do both and that is what I am going to do. Over the next couple of months I have some rather large oil paintings (direct to canvas) that I will be working on and then I will be alternating between traditional & digital.
Please keep calling by to keep up to date with the progress.
Have a great day.
Paul
