# trying to turn
the canvas and keep the tablet at exactly the same angle is hard. ( but easier than trying to do it in an unnatural horizontal plane, which just hurts my wrist )

# No.
it's too expensive a process for other people and not of interest to me.

# other people than me that like them.
I mean, who wants to pay £100 plus for a computer generated image printed on art board when you can get a decent watercolour by a proper artist for the same money.

# 160 x 120 cm would set me back about 100 quid
But smaller are not so heavy. I had a couple done as presents and they're pretty good.

Just thinking as you are rather skilled at the old painting with light - not sure if you have skills with realworld paints. If not, it's a good way to get those skills on a great medium.

# I can paint with acrylics, oils or watercolour.
I just don't have the time or the inclination any more. All my art materials are in London. If I had them back or got some more I might be tempted again.

As for the price. I know you can get cheaper but I was thinking for me I suppose. No point getting it done unless its massive. I like big art on my walls.

# Load it into a nice digital photoframe for them and sell it as a bundle.
Then they can buy other pictures you do later and pay less for them as they already have the hardware to display them on.

# That's an interesting concept
and might work on ebay.

I have long been thinking of selling some of my 'paintings' on ebay as digital images for wallpapers and such. It seems there is actually a big trade in this. Not for a monetary gain ( they only sell for 1-40p ) but I reckon it's a way of building a quick and large feedback base.

# Is that boat small, or just far away?

I like it but think you've had enough praise for one thread, you have such an easily inflated ego ;)

# no no, please carry on
I have had a special vent installed to release excess pride molecules.

# When I was a kid I started experimenting with oil paints
I painted a truly wonderful canvas with a shadowed alien figure inside a house, gazing at a small table where a knife and fork were being suspended by a beam of light, coming through the window and eventually sourced at a small ship in the distance. I loved that picture but everyone who saw it commented that the perspective was all wrong on the beam of light and there was no way it could be what was suspending the cutlery. I don't know how many times I had to patiently watch the light dawning in people's eyes when I questioned what made them think it was supposed to just because they had been raised on a trashy movie diet of hollywood cliches, and they were looking at a child's painting.

I mean, I totally did fuck it up, but I still think I had a valid point.

No refunds on time.

# People can be stupid like that.
My most hated question when I have someone looking at some of my photographic work is "So, what are you trying to say with this?"

To paraphrase Dieter Meier, my answer is "If I could tell you with words what I want to convey, I would be stupid spending time and energy in doing this work."

# As I say often.
If I start making pictures based upon other people's conception of art and to suit other people, I'll probably stop making pictures.
All I have to say is "This is what it is, you may choose to see more in it and you may choose to judge it by what you know but it might not make you right. I made it for me".
I'm not fond of critics. I think you should look at a picture and be able to decide if you like it or not. It should end there.
