I came to the similar conclusion as you - it's subjective and doesn't really matter, specially if worrying about it is preventing me from getting the paper out and painting/drawing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-83993403869852905542013-06-09T16:58:18.884-05:002013-06-09T16:58:18.884-05:00The growing debate is whether drawing/sketching on...The growing debate is whether drawing/sketching on an iPad, photoshopping, or any other program is authentic. I say no. Using the enhancements provided on a computer cannot compare to making your own with a pen, pencil, or a brush. This is not to pooh-pooh graphic arts. I feel that is a much bigger scale than making a sketch in the park or by the seaside. alexbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047763767818114497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-66684849706908612352013-06-09T16:53:09.090-05:002013-06-09T16:53:09.090-05:00A growing debate is about whether drawing/sketchin...A growing debate is about whether drawing/sketching on an iPad, photoshopping, or some other program is authentic. I say no. I cannot reconcile using those enhancements when using a brush/pencil commands one's creativity. You make your own enhancements. This is not to pooh-pooh graphic art that I know is computer driven. That is large scale and has many other characteristics than a sketch in the park.alexbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047763767818114497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-38893347057192860372013-06-09T11:41:16.655-05:002013-06-09T11:41:16.655-05:00In school I was taught to always use the best pape...In school I was taught to always use the best paper possible because sometimes you don't know when a sketch or a study becomes "frame worthy". Not always practical to do, but I understand wonderful things do happen when you are simply sketching.michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513061071374942527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-81816584026468024662013-06-09T03:52:40.263-05:002013-06-09T03:52:40.263-05:00I couldn't agree more, Kate !

"Painting" conjures up something formal and serious that is supposed to be good -- so even though that's a somewhat nonsensical definition, it changes the whole intent in my head. So I never "paint." I often sketch. With paint. :-) Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-50170757013060302772013-06-08T13:56:00.611-05:002013-06-08T13:56:00.611-05:00And as I say, it's VERY subjective...sometimes...And as I say, it's VERY subjective...sometimes there really aren't such clear differences!Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-6744768894484632122013-06-08T13:43:38.149-05:002013-06-08T13:43:38.149-05:00Cathy, I appreciate you articulating these differe...Cathy, I appreciate you articulating these differences.
