What is the reason why you initially like painting?

[Twist6015]

Would you share your reason?

Interesting question and I've been thinking about that for quite some time now. I mainly like painting because I can let my creatitvity roam free and have my own interpretation of certain things. Art knows no boundaries and with painting, I feel like I can be more creative. Not saying that digital art isn't art, don't get me wrong, but to me it all started with painting. To me, that's the true form of art and always will be.

Good morning. I concur.

Honestly, it seems that a large part of it was that it presented me with the opportunity and the "power" to re-create some of what I was confronted with in the world. Images typically appeared on t.v. or in magazines and I had to wonder how they came about. I imitated them with colored pencils and later with paint. It gave me a semblance of control or power.

I enjoy the progress to express my feeling on my painting. It's a good way to conmunicate with others I think.

It's quite difficult to say. Initially,my mother pushed me to learning the painting,so I really did not like painting.But when I drew the painting, I could feel something from my body is releasing.It is my mind, I think. So I started to enjoy the process of drawing painting.

Because it makes me feel calm and relaxed. I can be alone with my thoughts, nothing disturbs me. And most of all I like the final result.

i think its because, the drawing feels completely different after painting or applying color.
what i mean is that, having line art looks good as a piece and then you add value and it looks even better, but once you add color its like an entirely different piece (in my opinion at least) and it just becomes soo much more immersive and vibrant.
although that depends if you can paint,i can try but im still working on it. Nah actually ill dare to say im pretty good, Just kidding but make sure you check out my artwork and give me some harsh words on my art to help me improve my paintings. thanks

Maybe sharing something. Painting will also calm me down.

When I was younger, going through public school, I tried nearly every medium of expression in art classes and when I got to oil paints it was the one that seemed the most natural to me. I found that painting best let me express myself artistically, with pencil drawing being second. For me, painting is like colored drawing and I've adapted my drawing style to reflect my approach to painting.

I used to scribble a lot during my childhood. Later, I have started replicate the thing which I seen in paper somehow try to match the original and learnt the art course and started my career.

It's quite difficult to state. Initially,my mother pushed me to learning the painting,so I genuinely did not like painting.But when I drew the painting, I could feel something from my body is releasing.It is my mind, I think. So I started to appreciate the route toward drawing painting.

All of the above and I'll add this: It's magic. You mix and apply colors to create a different world.

I'd put Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen so he can yell at me while I make cereal for dinner. LOL.

I am not a painter myself but I really like looking at paintings. Being able to distinguish visual elements in a painting and connect it with my thoughts about it is a meaningful experience. It's actually therapeutic. I enjoy learning about art analysis and this article really helped me identify how to analyze art in different ways.

Well I feel like I must do that. This is need, passion, love....I feel so happy during all that proces:mixing paint, preparing canvas, painting, watching how it is drying....I am totaly addicted! This is my way to feel free and relaxed.

[RonDeriArt]

for me art is the biggest reason to wake up in the morning

[RihanaN]

Painting is my passion, kinda meditation

[RihanaN]

I enjoy painting. What I really enjoy is the reaction to the end result. As painters we are in a fortunate to be the final part of any project, generally speaking. I find little satisfaction in the production type of our work, it has to be done and it is good for business, but no wow faction at the end of the job. I like learning something new, just now I master some great oil painting techniques and always enjoy the result.

[Insessorial]

Painting is a kind of a stress reliever for me, I forget all my problems while I paint.
