Paintings

This batch of paintings was done this year without a time limit, yet they should be around the 20-40 min range. The first thing we notice while doing them is that we tend to make the image lighter than the source, and we are reaching a point where we see more blocks of values than actual objects. We agree, then, that all painting is abstract. The screenshots were taken mostly from videos found on ThisVid, and there is something very refreshing about people just recording themselves for pleasure, without the need to monetize or fear of exposure. The internet is deffo not fun anymore.

The best way to learn how to paint is to do it in black and white. That way, color is not a distraction, and the focus goes directly to value. We are not painters, or rather, we are terrible painters. Yet we are trying to change that, working on small paintings with a 20-minute execution limit and a huge brush. They are bad, almost embarrassing to show, so the only way we found to compensate for the frustration of the ugly result was to look for subjects that were enticing to paint: screenshots from pixelated amateur porn. This batch is actually from last year, another day we will post the late one and see if there are any improvements.
