The Famous Painting: Dora Maar au Chat by Picasso
I'm not sure what this is all about I'm an insomniac woke up at this weird ungodly hour for most people but not for me and found or discovered this master piece on my computer screen. But yes earlier in the day or of late I did google this particular painting found it fascinating that such a picture sold for so much a much sought after picture not because how well it was drawn but because of who drew it. I'm not an artist but I do draw I am learning but I do not think it is in the cards that I will ever be good at it but I would never have known Picasso and his works if it were not for tracing some of his works. I can and have drawn some things freehand and when I do I feel pure as the wind driven snow. But tracing is my backbone. Tracing from a picture is a traditional word a sin associated with cheating yes I know but if I am up front then it isn't cheating. We must let our common sense dictate to us what is right and what is wrong. When I move my painting brush to make a stroke it is like moving a chess piece in a board game it is a move to get to the right picture in my case recently I painted my second oil painting of the famous Golden Gate Bridge using a digital picture and tracing from it. But I didn't trace it all I used my own interpretation and drew lines far different than what was seen in the digital picture. It was if you please an exaggeration maybe dramatized. This picture I named The Golden Gate Bridge In The Twilight it is completed but hasn't been shown as yet to the public. The first two people I showed it to like it from the get go. Some of your best friends or your loved ones can be your worst critics but not in this case of the Golden Gate Bridge In The Twilight. It is quite possible I will show it to you sometime in the coming. Whether playing and practicing chess online leads to a better understanding of movement on canvas with an oil on a paint brush can boggle the mind.
