Painting Wildlife
Has anyone gone from drawing & painting realistically to more imaginative work?
I have been drawing & painting pets and wildlife from my photos (just as a hobby and for family and friends), but would like to try dragons and other fantasy creatures. I am curious to see if anyone has made such a transition (I know we don't have to choose just one style), and did you find you enjoy one more than the other?
Thanks everyone sharing your experiences! (I think I'll go for it, too!)
Six years ago I decided I wanted to understand the creation process of abstract painting, so I started taking abstract classes. My representational landscapes and figures started to improve, decidely through a new ability and freedom to lay down paint. I would encourage your transition from realism to fantasy.
