I’m always thinking about how to best capture the image of a summer sunset. I do most of the work with simple paintings on canvas, such as a set of a few sketches, a few sketches that are actually completed, and a few paintings that are simply painted. It’s a great way to incorporate your own style into your own artwork.
I’ve always done my own art with simple drawings and paintings, but I’ve recently found myself getting more interested in digital imaging and computerized images. I think it’s important to capture the essence of a subject in a way that is both simple and easy to reproduce. That way when you show your work off or share it with people, you’re not just painting something that someone could easily duplicate.
Ive been thinking a lot about how to caption something. I wanted to be more open about why I’m captioning everything, which is a topic I still think is a relevant one. I also wanted to show that I can do what I do, and I don’t just do it because I have a big canvas.
Although I have been captioning for over a decade now, I still feel more comfortable and confident when I caption my paintings. This is because I really like to capture a subject in a simple, clear way that I can easily reproduce. As I explained in a previous post, I feel more comfortable captioning a painting because I want to be as specific as possible.
Well, I agree with that opinion and I’m not the only one. There are many artists who agree with me because they are comfortable with their own image. I have been using the same method of captioning for over a decade now and I am still doing it. I can caption my paintings like I did in my previous post, but also do some things differently and better.
I used to only caption my paintings for museums, and I would do it the same way I do now. I would simply write down the name and the artist and leave it at that. The problem with this method is that it’s very difficult to know if I have the proper name for the artist or if I’ve chosen the wrong name. It is possible to have a similar problem with captioning a painting for a book.
That might be the case for a book you are writing, but if you are writing a painting for a book, it is much easier. You can just ask a painter, “What is it about this painting you want to caption?” and then search for the artist yourself. I know this can be confusing, but I have found that once you get a feel for it, you can find the artist in a matter of seconds.
I have found a painting of my painting to have a lot of the same problems as a book. That is, if I want to caption it, I can’t do it without looking it up, it’s the same thing as if I had a copy of the painting, and I don’t know where to look. Or if I do, I’ll get lost in the painting. Because I have to look it up, I find the captioning to be quite a bit more complicated.
My own painting of a crestf tg is a bit different. The colours arent as bright, but they still look like a crested tg in a way that I dont see every day. But Im not going to get into that now.
