Just in case, or sticking to a strict plan?

Just in case, or sticking to a strict plan?

There are many jokes about people doing things just in case, usually involving something bordering on the absurd, like someone buying several train tickets just in case they need to fly, just in case.

Although, it's hard to say when such an act is stupidity, or something similar, and when it's a clear plan, and a foolproof one at that.

For example, in my grandmother's storage room after her death, I discovered a large supply of matches, salt, cereal, light bulbs, paraffin candles, toilet paper, and other things. These items could outlive any owner of such supplies, but, as the saying goes, a supply that lasts does not enrich the soul.

And yet, a clear plan is usually something we can't understand; it's simply not given to us.

But a bush growing in a vacant lot produces a bountiful harvest of hawthorn. Typically, no one wants it, and it seems like a waste of time. However, when the cold weather arrives, the birds will get their treats, which will help them survive the winter, and the bush will reward those who carry the seeds from one place to another. A very clear plan.

Here's a sparrow sitting in a viburnum bush. It should fly to the bread factory where there's a better chance of finding tasty grains. But the sparrow probably has a clear plan: wait until the falcon's cries subside, then it can dream about something else. For now, it's sticking to a clear plan: survive, or, just in case, wait.

Although, another aorabey may behave like a fool, showing off in front of predators.

What are the chances of this thorn latching onto your pant leg and conquering new territory?

I think they're slim, but just in case, this little bottle is following a very precise plan lol.

Material thoughts about beekeeping №1

When I visited dense forests, I did not see ideal conditions for bees there, but many beekeepers harvest beekeeping products in such places.

Sometimes we see things in nature that seem pointless or insignificant at first, but when we look more closely, we begin to understand how everything is connected
As a painter, I always try to pay attention to these small details. Things we might normally walk past without noticing can become the subject of an artwork

Sometimes my imagination—at least when I try to draw something—doesn’t handle the details quite the way I’d like, but I have to forgive myself for that; after all, I’m no artist... more of a dreamer, I suppose :)

This is very good, it has the same surreal atmosphere... you can just increase the contrast in some parts and make some of the main lines darker... great

Until I learn how to draw, I’ll be afraid of using overly dark tones on a sheet of paper :)

This is amazing, that's exactly what I meant... The contrast between darkness and light is very well observed in this work... Those who draw very well are always successful in coloring... So drawing is more important among all artists.

For an artist with as little experience as I have, there’s always a high risk of ruining something by making it darker than it should be :)

Darkening is not ruining... and you shouldn't be afraid of light, Nani. Light is not good everywhere... Negative space and positive space both have the same value. Just as a fish is important to its weight, it is also very important to its weight. We must accustom our eyes to see negative space, and in fact, weight, well and value it...

Once I develop a subtle sense for light and shadow, I might be able to say that I’ve made progress in my drawing skills; for now, though, there are still moments where I lean too far in one direction or the other, straying from that balance :)

This one is very good, but I think (personal opinion) your works would look better if they had more contrast.

I’m still at the bottom of the staircase, but I’m trying to move toward an understanding of how and what to draw :)

It is quite clear that you have a surrealist tendency in your work. Have you ever carefully studied the works of famous Surrealist painters?

For example, when you look at a painting by Salvador Dalí, try to examine it more closely, with artistic curiosity. While observing the painting, ask yourself the following questions and look for the answers:

  1. Has the artist used light and dark contrast (value contrast)?
  2. Has the artist used contrast of shape? For example, has the artist placed a large object next to a small one?
  3. Has the artist used texture contrast? For example, has the artist painted a textured object alongside an object with a smooth, untextured surface?
  4. How is the painting divided into its main sections? For example, does it clearly have an upper and lower half, or a left and right half?
  5. Has the artist made use of lines and shapes (planes)?

After asking these questions and finding the answers in the painting, move on to studying the use of color.

You may find that a painting uses just one, two, or several of these visual elements.

You should also ask yourself specific questions about color and try to understand how the artist has used it.

This method is called the study of an artwork by an artist.

Thanks for the advice, but I deliberately avoid studying their work; I don’t want even the slightest imprint of their imagination to appear in my own pieces—though I do acknowledge that, by doing so, I’m passing up a very progressive method for learning about composition and execution techniques :)

If you don't study, you will definitely be considered a self-taught artist.

No!! In art, we cannot say that something is bad or wrong simply because it exists.

All well-known artists dedicate part of their professional careers to studying the works of artists who came before them. They don't steal from them; they learn from them, just as they would from a teacher.

And this is not limited to painting. The same principle applies to every artistic field. You cannot say, "I play music, but I never listen to other people's music because it might influence me." On the contrary, I listen to other musicians because I want to learn, develop my own understanding, and eventually create something different.

Therefore, throughout their professional lives, all painters have studied the works of other artists. It's an essential part of artistic growth and development.

The only music I listen to is what my son writes; I’m not interested in anything else. He creates original music and writes rap to go with it—or sometimes it’s the other way around: the rap comes first, and then the beats! :)

I have seen many works by excellent artists that feature amorphous, melting, or flowing clocks—reminiscent of those in Salvador Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory, albeit with slight variations.
I’ve encountered these clocks and other elements from Dalí’s paintings in floral arrangements, hairstyles, forest scenes, and various other contexts where the artists sought to create a focal point. Personally, I am still far from reaching their level of technical skill; however, they rarely improvise. Instead, they engage in something akin to a sliding tile puzzle—rearranging existing pieces into new configurations. While the result is visually pleasing, I find the process dull. To be clear, I don’t claim my perspective is the only "correct" one; it’s simply how I view it. I respect these artists—much like I respect people who enjoy surströmming (fermented herring)—but I certainly don’t share their particular tastes! :)

For me, just talking and drawing is enough, lol.
