What is the reason why you initially like painting?

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.
