SasQ 1,379 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Great use of colors! I don't see how it is abstract, it rather reminds me some expressionist pictures like those of Vincent van Gogh but this is good. I like it the way it is. It makes me feel very good and cozy, as if I were there, in calm winter Ponyville covered by warm (?) duvet of snow. Do you plan to paint some more fragments of this image? (to the left & right to this one) It could be an interesting triptych with a panoramic view on the winter Ponyville. I'd love to see that.

Powderpuff 390 February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 This is awesome, I'm totally digging the mood! I love how you handled the blues on the roof, and how the building's slightly askew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteGuardian 168 February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 Wow this is great. I really like it. How long did it take you to get this good? You can either despair that a rosebush has thorns, or rejoice that a thornbush has roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteGuardian 168 February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 Thank you very much. I am glad the mood is apparent, since this is expresionalist/abstract. That is what counts. Furthermore, I appreciate you taking the time to critique different parts of the 'painting'. Hmmm, since... March. I believe I started painting in March of 2013. However, you don't need to be 'good', to do expresionalist/abstract. (I know, I know, somewhere an art major just had an aneurysm.) If you can feel the colors, then just put them on. Lighting, perspective, relational proportions, all of that and more just gets tossed to the side. wow. thats awesome. it looks really cool You can either despair that a rosebush has thorns, or rejoice that a thornbush has roses.

True Rarity 1,240 February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 It doesn't look abstract to me. But it's really good! 2 My deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branfeynt 101 February 15, 2014 Share February 15, 2014 If you don't like abstract, this isn't for you. Well, I don't like most of the abstract art, but I like what I see on this picture Keep up the good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasQ 1,379 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 (edited) The confusion probably depends on the definition of "abstract". Most people understand it as something being unreal and not picturing anything. But it can be as well understood simply as non-photorealistic art. In that case, comic art, impressionists & expressionists art etc. is also "abstract", because it is not photorealistic. Here, for example, Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting, which is considered as the beginning of the expressionists genre: (Edit: There's also Equestria version of this painting ) But it is not as much abstract as cubism, or dadaism, or works of Pablo Picasso, or geometric forms & areas of color.

In that case, my previous statement needs a correction. I do like abstract art like this two! Thanks for the explanation, SasQ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Mom 900 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 Great job. I love your use of the colors. "Pay attention to these petals, Steven. The petals' dance seems improvised, but it is being calculated in real time based on the physical properties of this planet. With hard work and dedication, you can master the magical properties of your gem and perform your own dance!"

Proctra Music 335 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 I have a real soft spot for oi pastels, and this is a great demonstration of why I love them so much. It captures the mood very nicely, due to some great colors being used. Good work mang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderpuff 390 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 Exactely, and this is why I am just a simple painter and not an art critic. In reality, isn't all painting abstract? Actually yeah, even super representational (realistic, accurate) paintings/drawings are abstractions. Even if you've got a model or something infront of you and you're trrying to copy it exactly, using all the fancy methods of measurements to get all the proportions, angles, etc. correct...it's still abstraction. Because none of the lines you put down actually exist, you have to make them up and imagine that it stands for a shift in plane/an edge. Even hyperrealistic paintings are abstractions because, at the very core, they are trying to pass off a two-dimensional surface for something that it's not. Sorry for jumping in and pulling this off-topic! I totally see the Van Gogh-iness to your painting, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderpuff 390 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 If I may be a fanboy for only a moment, ya'll called me out on it. Van Gogh captured my soul as a child, and he has never let it go. I hope to someday, be able to express myself in even a fraction of the manner. In that case, I think you're well on your way to doing so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
