>I just don't think conservatives tend to value the arts & fostering creativity.

Look at it this way. Even centrists or people who don't care about politics are now being labeled as right-wing conservatives. Failing to virtue-signal in life and in your work now makes you a conservative. That's an extremely narrow-minded thing to say considering the huge number of artists in history and today with traditional values.
And correlation =/= causation. You're basing this on school programs? You understand those states/districts will likely be further away from cities where people will naturally look for more practical work rather than getting into debt in the middle of nowhere with zero opportunities. Of course their art programs will be shitty, but it won't be because their political views are making them "uncreative".

I'm personally more centrist, but I disagree with the idea of globalism and multiculturalism. I like painting interesting things. I think it's just as creative to paint diversity without having to strongarm poc into a viking village or some other shit like that. It's everywhere now.
It's one thing to be all "oh hey lets have egalitarian multicultural ideas about the future", that makes sense and I can get behind it creatively, but why on earth all this brownwashing? How does it suddenly make you more creative and artistic to go full degenerate?

If anything, art is a conservative thing. It requires discipline and dedication. None of which you will see in an aggressive/extreme liberal - almost all of them are hanging out on tumblr and at best making things that can become cartoons. You think any one of them would be able to paint something like pic related? Not a chance.

Bierstadt is just waaay too good. So adding one more. Tried adding a different one but files can't be bigger than 4mb to upload here. Just google him for more I guess :)

Mandatory Bierstadt.

One of the difficulties with painting landscapes is to avoid patterns that aren't natural. We all naturally do such things, and it's not easy to stop.

i remember going to museums and always being entranced by albert bierstadt and his epic outdoors paintings. it's been one of the pieces that put me in awe. i would like to one day make at least one of those.

of course i forgot that goal for a while, because i figured i should master drawing before i tackle painting. it was a pretty recent realization that i forgot, actually, so i might use that as a segway into trying something new to test my drawing skills after "training" this year.

Why is this my favorite /ic/?

Good landscape painters to study from?

Why do so many people here like weird, ugly, 2deep shit? Is it because of single mothers?
