How feasible is it to paint a realistic piece without references even with loose brush strokes?
>>7348009Even if you psint from your mind you're using references.
>>7348009read alla prima, negro
>>7348018Sure but what does that have to do with painting without references?
>>7348009It's entirely possible but you need to practice doing it until you can do it well
>>7348009seems difficult to nail the color and lightwing without reference, animation and comic books which typically work more from imagination don't really have to worry about them. but im not a painter so idk.

>>7348009craig mullins did it a lot. but why not use reference?
>>7348029First paragraph says painters had to memorize things. But in the entire text it never says they were painting a piece completely from memory
>>7348009all the masters drew with reference.pointless endeavour.
>>7348009This is not realistic but impressionistic you pleb
>>7348009where's the "realism" OP?
>>7348029nta but this actually says that to be able to paint realistically the painter had to paint things while seeing them, or using photography.>>7348039>>7348067realism is in the depiction of light/color accurately in its arrangement and relationship as well as the subject matter and their arrangements and composure. impression of things that appear in the real and ever-shifting physical world as the painter experiences it in the moment.
