I had a table down from yours at the Showcase and I couldn't stop looking at the Ice Giant. Your brushstrokes are mesmerising and your treatment of the paint and colour are pure genius. When I grow up, I want to paint like you. :-D<br /><br />So looking forward to seeing you and your wonderful work at Illuxcon again this November. I'm so glad that the last one was a breakthrough for you. I seem to finally be on the verge of my own. :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MarianneMariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10349984152592814003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-59970513827136693282011-02-10T00:23:01.753+01:002011-02-10T00:23:01.753+01:00Cheese & crackers, this is one of the most ins...Cheese & crackers, this is one of the most insanely wonderful things.

Everybody who seriously tried to paint in this technique, probably knows from their own experience how true this saying is. Aquarelle does not imply the use of the white paint, the white of the paper is the only white you have. It is very easy to make the colors muddy when working in this technique. The aquarelle is an unforgiving technique and not easy to master. But when the high level in handling of this technique is reached, the results can be stunning and unsurpassable. The oil technique, when performed in its most expressive form, does not differ too much from the aquarelle technique. <br /><br />We have to admit that this working attitude can be quite different from the digital technique, that makes the abundant use of the “undo button”. In my opinion, the nature and the character of the creative paths that lead to the final result (and the influence of the creative process itself on the final results) makes the biggest difference between the digital and any other conventional technique.Petar Meseldžijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458069410674859739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-75980895257685571572011-02-07T03:30:14.837+01:002011-02-07T03:30:14.837+01:00hehe Kessie, that is one of my major worries :):):...hehe Kessie, that is one of my major worries :):):)Vanja Todorichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554639051409468465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-37644405536423874412011-02-06T15:25:05.927+01:002011-02-06T15:25:05.927+01:00Vanja - If you're good at digital painting, oi...Vanja - If you're good at digital painting, oil painting is easy to transition to.

I was drawing, painting, reading and studying, trying to develop my skills and to get better. Nobody taught me how to paint in the classic way during my studies at the art academy – the reason was the prevailing Modernistic dogma – so I had to learn it by myself. <br /> <br />Over the years I collected all sorts of knowledge and insights and developed my own approach to painting and illustration. About two years ago I saw an interview with an old, famous master pianist, who said something like: “upon reaching a certain point in your development and career ( and becoming a kind of master), and in order to develop further, you should start teaching”.<br /><br />It is definitely true as far as I am concerned. Therefore I try to share my knowledge, experience and insights as good as I am able to. My blog is an ideal way of doing it. <br />But this does not necessarily makes me a good teacher, and certainly not as good as James Gurney. However I am pleased to hear that some people (including you Micah) benefit from my writings.<br /><br />Ralph – Yes, it was a very interesting conversation that I had with Donato during the Illuxcon show. We talked about the current situation on the illustration market and the importance of being yourself and going your own way - things that are especially important for an “old-timer”, as myself.<br /><br />Irene,Soutchay – Thanks very much.Petar Meseldžijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458069410674859739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-67530338401521638242011-02-01T17:13:42.611+01:002011-02-01T17:13:42.611+01:00It was a great pleasure to see your work 'clos...It was a great pleasure to see your work 'close-up and personal' at IlluXCon, along iwth hearing you talk about it (especially your converstaion with Donato.

Fortunately, I somehow got back on the track and started to pay more attention to singing… Apart from my voice, I hope that people like my singing, as well…Though I know it is not always easy to separate those two from each other.Petar Meseldžijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458069410674859739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823542700069005194.post-104816254834036162011-01-31T19:10:50.772+01:002011-01-31T19:10:50.772+01:00I remember this wonderful painting Petar.
