Good evening, how are my fellow readers doing?
Tonight I will share a little story, I hope it's useful.
Since I was a kid I was gifted in art, but as I get older, I realized one thing, even though I am talented and self-taught, I still have to learn from the expert, because I see so many art techniques on the internet, but I don't know which one to trust . Until one day I studied directly with a real artist.
Even though I have always loved art, I never really understand the definition of painting or coloring, what's the difference between them? I used to think that painting uses paint, and coloring uses other colorful supply, and of course, I misunderstood that definition.
My teacher explained that painting is about playing with colors, even though we're using colored pencils but we play with the tertiary colors and that also can be called painting, etc. And most importantly we pour our hearts and soul into the art that we created. While coloring, on the other hand, is like the colors you see in cartoons, it only uses one base color, even though it uses watercolors, coloring does not pay attention to a lot of color mixture, highlights, etc.
Thats when I finally understand what does painting means.

Selamat malam, Bagaimana kabar pembaca sekalian?
Malam ini saya akan sedikit berbagi cerita, semoga bermanfaat.
Sejak kecil saya memang berbakat di seni, tetapi ketika saya dewasa saya baru paham satu hal, meskipun kita berbakat dan bisa otodidak, kita tetap harus berguru kepada ahlinya, karena saya melihat begitu banyak ilmu seni di internet, tetapi saya tidak tahu harus mempercayai yang mana. Sampai suatu saat saya berguru langsung dengan pelukis sesungguhnya.
Meskipun saya sendiri sejak dulu suka sekali dengan seni, saya tidak mengerti definisi melukis, ataupun mewarnai, apa bedanya? saya dulu mengira bahwa melukis pasti menggunakan cat, dan mewarnai menggunakan selain cat, dan tentu saja saya salah mengerti definisi itu.
Guru saya menjelaskan bahwa melukis itu bermain warna, kita dikatakan melukis sekalipun menggunakan pensil warna kalau kita memainkan warnanya, dengan warna tersier dll, dan yang terpenting hati kita masuk didalamnya. Sedangkan mewarnai itu seperti film kartun, hanya menggunakan satu warna, meskipun menggunakan cat air, mewarnai tidak memperhatikan campuran warna yang banyak, cahaya masuk dll.
semenjak itulah saya mengerti apa yang dimaksud dengan melukis.
