“Taking my time to perfect the beat” Oil on board, Portrait.

Tupac, Notorious BIG and Dr Dre. Sometimes going back to the foundation of art, stepping away from digital art, it feels almost challenging in a sense, to not being able to press the erase button, or adding a layer and being able to detach that layer with ease. Approaching a traditional painting in my perspective, it’s really for real, as everything you are doing you have to really feel it, to be aware that every decision you make, it will be an statement in the painting, it’s really important to get your values right in the beginning, as trying to fix those statements later on in the final painting stages, it feels like you are going against what’s supposed to be. The Overall resume of approaching a traditional painting nowadays, is to erase any thoughts of how long it will take, and do it purposely for having fun. I speak to a lot of painters nowadays, who choose digital painting over traditional, for the fact that it can be done so much quicker, and I would completely understand that, as nowadays we are more limited with time. However, sometimes for me, what matters is how it feels, and painting oil on board is such a pleasant feeling that will not be replicated in a digital painting. Thank you
