Assuming you got the necessary skills to pull it off, is there a market for trad paintings depicting the medieval era. I think that there is interest but when you consider how long it would take to setup and paint it that would elevate the price too much for most people interested in this kinda of painting. So now you are stuck with rich people and competing against modern art bs
>>
that painting would absolutely not take long to paint, you worthless nodraw nigger
>>
>>7836053
Why would you paint someone's else artwork to sell when you are already an established artist?
>>
Only women buy physical art now, and they only care what colors they think match their living room. That's how "modern art" took hold. They will sooner buy a $35 6'x4' mass produced canvas slop from TJ Maxx than pay whatever it would be worth for you to make something cool.

One day gathering resources, exploring different ideas, composition, colors
One day transferring drawing to canvas + underpaint
Two days painting background and subjects
Two days adding details
Payment for 6 days * 2 + material costs
So unless you somehow live for free it will be expensive enough for the average joe to pay for a rectangle with paint in it to put on his bedroom
And that is considering everything goes smoothly

It's 2 people on horses doing nothing with nothing behind them. The front horse is in the most iconic generic horse pose known to art. Both figures are in straight profile and have no actions nor expressions. There's not a single thing in this painting that you wouldn't have painted dozens of times already by the time you had the skill to paint it.
>colors
Nigger, it's literally just the basic red and yellow with a neutralizing blue that everyone learns first, it's self harmonizing.
>payment for 6 days
Six days of what? You're not painting this for 48 hours, are you fucking retarded? Nobody's paying you to wait for the paint to dry, just work on something else, ffs

I'm genuinely confused what you believe takes so long here, I've known boomer painters that would cut out and bash equestrianism magazine photos in the 90s, trace them and render them out in like 10 hours, not counting waiting for the paint to dry.

>>7836046
You can tell Mucha was phoning this shit in, has none of the hallmarks that make a good Mucha painting.
>>

>days
slapping on some highlights is not a day of work, you could slap highlights on 20 paintings in a normal workday and still be halfassing it
you charge for hours
>>
>>7836336
What do you mean it is 2 people on horses? Are medieval paintings all just 2 people on horses? lol might as well just take a photo of the painting and print it instead if that's what you want from paintings of the medieval era
>>
>>7836342
>that painting
>no, a different painting of a broader scope would be different!
>>
>>7836340
Where did you read highlights assfart?
>>
>>7836345
>two days doing detail
circle the details on the painting that would've taken you two days to add
>>
>>7836343
Are you really telling me that copying someone's work and creating one from scratch takes the same amount of time? lol
>>
>>7836347
>two people on profile looking to the left
>basic walk cycle horses in profile
>halfassed trees bob ross would be ashamed of if he shat them out in 20 minutes
That's your composition, retard. If you're taking a day to come up with that, sorry, you're mentally challenged
>>
>>7836346
Drappery folds, material texture, pebbles, metal reflections, shadow spots on the ground, anatomy folds
>>7836349
So I guess all medieval life can be resumed to 2 people on horses. There was nothing else happening at the time that can be explored. Shiggy shiggy

>simple portrait paintings would take artists multiple sittings in the past
>"this shit would only take a day"
The absolute of /ic/
>>
>>7836349
what the fuck are you doing in the two days of "painting background and subjects" if you haven't painted the fucking drapery folds yet?
>pebbles
>shadow spots on the ground
lol are you retarded
>>
>>7836356
pyw

>>7836354
>simple portraits
portraits are the most involved genre outside of grand scale painting
>"this shit would only take a day"
nobody said that, retard

People here overrate traditional pieces to a stupid degree, I would say they're being disingenuous but they're really just ignorant.
>>
>>7836354
Multiple sittings =/= multiple days of work.
A day's work means 8 hours, because that's what a work day is. Sitting down do add a glaze is not a day of work just because you need to wait for the paint to dry, you don't get to demand a day's wage because you spent some unit of time on a painting that day.

Yeah, yeah. Green text all you want your own work speaks against your words

lol
lmao
they're always so desperate for attention from a real painter
sad
>>
>>7836053
I consider anything over 9 hours (full workday) as taking a long time.
>>
>>7836382
Nonny, you just proved yourself wrong by posting your own work you have been working for multiple months. I don't need to do anything
>>
>retard still has no working comprehension of how painting works at all
>still desperate for validation from his superiors
ohnononono
>>
>>7836370
Oh hey this looks great. I do wish digital could properly replicate the beauty of trad brush strokes
>>
>>7836389
For digital I'd definitely agree, but a detailed traditional piece can take awhile.
