I don't like how the artist has basically used the same level of detail across the whole piece. Especially with the busy compositions. Compare it to something like this where there are areas of detail and areas of rest and how colour is used to draw the eye in.

Saw them on twitter this morning, too. Aside from the awful subject matter, they're boring. There is nothing visually interesting going on here. This is basically freshman college/AP art level photocopying. The brushwork is totally flat. You can tell that they were all painted from (uninteresting) photos. Nothing is left to the imagination.Any difference in resolution is clearly the due to laziness and not interpretation. The result looks simultaneously overworked and unfinished. The scenes have no depth. The lighting is drab and unthoughtful. There is no attempt to create a mood or interpret the scene beyond "im a girl and I like SEX heheehe". Notice how the one with the flowers is the only one with interesting lighting or camera angles as it cant fall back on the #quirky instagram cheese. Whoever painted these needs to do some real still lifes and learn how to make an interesting image. I give it a C+ but her professor will probably give it at least an A- unless they have some femoid beef.

Issue number one is lighting. These all look like photos taken under very flat fluorescent lighting which just looks ugly. There's a reason photographers are obsessed with lighting and transferring a picture to canvas doesnt make you exempt.
Number two is the bad brushwork. This person is at the level where they can basically color by number from a photo but thats it. Thats a good step and better than 99% of non-artists, but the job of a good painter is to audit the visual landscape and remove garbage. Take a look at any great painting. You'll see they are significantly more realistic with a fraction of the brush strokes. There are probably as many unsure brushstrokes in one shape of OP as there are in the entirety of pic rel.

[Anonymous No.5048863]

Not being my art, It's easier for me to look at the elements you mean and compare them side by side without an emotional attachmemt.
I look at yours, while feeling overwhelmed in the sense of wow how the fuck does someone paint that good. I zoom in to see what actual strokes were made, imaging a similar scene in real life then looking at what the artist decide to paint and what was not painted. I wonder if the actual artist of the Twitter pic, would go to such lengths in understanding her own art compared to what I've done to understand her art. On the plus, her art seems to be a good learning point for /begs/ that come into this thread.

Some textures in there are well done but it all lacks depth and a lot of the colors aren't right. Technically it's not bad enough for anyone to mock it, but it's nowhere near good enough to pass as good art and wow people. All in all, considering the subject matter, I can't perceive this as anything else than vaguely political, exceedingly boring art born of the exceedingly boring lifestyle of a roastie in quarantine.

The main problem with the painting is that it’s not a still life study. If she had actually examined the scene and painted what she saw she may have learned something. Instead she just produced a copy of a photograph.

What makes a still life valuable is not the "subject" or "content", or "what it means". Rather, it's the richness of the visual language. The compostition, the shapes, the shadows, the harmony, the details. Just throwing some shit on a table and calling it "still life" is a waste of effort. One has to work on a model and a compostion and make it nice.

This looks like most of the stuff people at art school paint.

When you're drawing the goal is not to create a photograph, but a drawing. Photographs can be ugly, boring, confusing, uninspired, unstructured, whereas drawings should be illustrative, capture something meaningful, depict it clearly even if it didn't look that way from the angle you saw it, use form shape lighting structure etc to do it.

it's a legit technique but you're right. on the one hand if you're doing a still life with something like flowers in it, they will wilt and die over time so it's good to have an image otherwise you will be fucked if you don't have it completely done in a matter of a couple days. on the other hand the lighting will feel flat and dead, i guess because microscopic shifts in perspective as you view an actual still life change the reflections and shit, you don't get that with a photo.

Composition and colors. Lighting. At least have some yellow shadows bouncing from the foil condom wrappers. There are no other colors present on the grey desk.

[Anonymous No.5055372]

>>5054473
>Exaggerate darkness and light?
Yes. The range of dark and light is less important than how you use them. Compare the pictures here >>5049747. In the seargent painting, light and shadow come together to create contrast and clearly describe the form. The light gators stand out against the dark background. Dark cast shadows push their form out from the midground. In the op painting there is dark on the edges and the rest is mostly mid tone. There are some highlights but they fall flat without contrast. The cast shadows are all too soft to visually cut out a form. If you had to break the two images into three values, the seargent would look basically the same. The didlo would be a indecipherable.
Here's another painting with great values. Contrast and simplicity is more important than detail.

[Anonymous No.5055378]

>>5048764
Agreed, that was my thought. There's some lens distortion, which is fine if you understand that and work with it, but the artist seems to have kept the lens distortion on some parts, but not others. The dildo's perspective is all off it doesn't look round.
