>it sounds like you're autistically limiting yourself to methods of painting with the hope that they will inherently make you better.
idk about "better." Just different. It's part of the idea of the "quest for the novel aesthetic." Like you prop up all these rules and then develop ideas around them and start subverting them and spin out into the unknown.
>what has using grids for the last year taught you?
I mean they're great for getting a better understanding of space and framing and perspective and all that stuff. Plus they're pretty standard practice for transferring an image to canvas. It's part of being a painter.
> you do realise painting is outcome based,
eh I mean mostly?
>and your learning process doesn't matter as long as you learn everything properly
I'm learning improper things properly
>and can consistently reproduce """good""" work in a timely matter.
not my bag
>i want you to get better but it seems like you're at a war with yourself
there is only one enemy and it will be subverted and destroyed

just got a pack of new brushes. kind of makes me feel retarded for not doing that months ago.

also just ordered a tube of flesh tone paint. idk if that's cheating or not.
