[QUOTE="Muddy Cyclist, post: 2296534, member: 505893"] I will try, although it's more of a feeling of the artwork than its physical appearance. Some art can look just like a photograph, this would have been fine before film but now why bother painting as a photograph when that image can be captured through a camera? The great oil painters produced romantic images in almost photographic style as did the Preraphalites although there was an intensity of colour in their painting that even photography would find hard to emulate. Then you have the looser style of the Impressionists giving a feeling of the image but not actually painting it in detail. Then the abstract painters where it so often impossible to know what the subject is, that's at its simplest. Watercolour is fluid [USER=305199]@geefull[/USER] is very good useing it in a fluid manner. At heart I am an oil painter and so my watercolour painting tends to become overworked, strong colours a loss of transparency, too many lines where a simple single brush stroke would do as well. So I have included some of my own paintings to try and show the difference. A. over worked to much information although not quite a photograph..... [ATTACH=full]43365[/ATTACH] B. Almost abstract, only because I say its heathland and a valley is it recognised as such... [ATTACH=full]43366[/ATTACH] C Example of flowing freer style like above with enough detail to be convincing... [ATTACH=full]43367[/ATTACH] Then the seascape where the freeness is in the use of wet paint on wet paper and lots of spraying with water to push the paint about. Other than the rocks this is very free and no detailed brush strokes. [ATTACH=full]43368[/ATTACH] C is still complicated as paint needs to be layered, each layer showing through the next, however there is less detail, broader brush strokes, where in A there are lots of small detailed brush strokes. I hope this helps. PS sorry I used my own work to explain but it's more accessible than searching the net. [/QUOTE]
