Description
Continuation of my story with environment art practice. Wild canid encountering distressed dog. Can you see cute fella bathing in light?

However, this one is quite meaningful piece for me. I painted my favourite spot of my place where I live. Used WojtekFus brushers like crazy.
I sketched in real life (I have sketch outline in my sketchbook), observed and took many photos for reference to use later. I worked on it based on my real world experience and references.
There I understood vividly how the light, depth and texture works better than anything else. It might sound pretty old-fashioned but... nature is greatest teacher. Not tutorials. Well, they help. But here I feel MAGIC with EFFORT I put - got outside, watched real world and collected own material. Another important thing is, once we use real life reference for something, there is little subconscious stress that "we may take out someone's property" even at free-license stocks.

But all it's mine... and that way can be yours.

It's part of a project I want to do. I want to inspire artists to do what I do. Go out to real world. Get inspired and paint from real world. I am still at testing phase, learning and find out a way to pass technique for you.

But one thing is, think of making food. It's more like when you cook using ingredients from your own garden. Organic. Probably it's not going to be best meal, there are far better possibilities to create beautiful meals with ingredients from markets or farmers. Not your little garden.
But can you "taste" that feeling? How it tastes better?

Do you enjoy creating art from own references and resources? What feeling it does give?

This piece is my little garden. Not best (in the eyes of others) but most satisfying with hunting own materials. Well, except brushes which are from Wojtek I hope I'll make my own.
