Ah, the universal pain of drawing hands 😭.

LOVE THIS - the painting and what you said!

Hi Nicolas. My computer was just fixed after a backside drive disconnected. To me, one of the most difficult subject matters to paint is Death when you are giving Death a totally new posture you have never painted before. Thanks for your short! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.

your painting turned out so beautiful

Beautiful image 🖼

Every time i sit down in front of anything I say, I can't paint that. But I do, it just isn't what I had in mind. But if I thought I could paint it with ease then why would I be painting it? But my media is watercolour, so I have two minds working on any painting. My mind and the mind of the watercolour. But it is a balance, too much of a challenge and you get frustrated. Not enough challenge then you get bored. I was always doing a quick sketch to layout my painting, and was getting bored. I started going to an urban sketching group and stopped using pencil, pen/ink and watercolour only. Now the challenge meets the skills, sketching is exciting and not boring anymore. Adapt your subject and workflow to your skills to stay keen and fresh is my advice.

I digital paint, I paint shapes. No subject to paint is hard. I never think of painting eyes, trees, cars, etc. I interpret them as alien objects at the beginning of the painting. Once I can recognize them by the brain as what they are, that's whenI know I can start adding in details. Every time I hit a problem, it's usually something in the fundamentals that I am lacking in. Oh and usually when I take long breaks from painting, the first few digital paintings are trash. That's because I need to get the hand eye coordination back up, which kicks in by the third painting.
