Comments on: Is ‘Daily Painting’ an Art Movement? http://www.artmakr.com/is-daily-painting-an-art-movement/ making art simple through tips tutorials and articles on art and living the artist life Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:51:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Morgaine Swann http://www.artmakr.com/is-daily-painting-an-art-movement/#comment-724 Morgaine Swann Mon, 28 Apr 2008 06:14:06 +0000 http://www.artmakr.com/is-daily-painting-an-art-movement/#comment-724 I think it's a very particular kind of movement -a populist one that puts art in the hands of the people. The painter has complete control of the subject, the outcome and the marketing, and the buyer has immediate access to the image and can own it for a very reasonable price. It's real art available to the masses for prices they can afford. I think it's really wonderful. Almost anyone could start a small collection of varied painters that could be displayed on a wall or even in an album, creating your own portable gallery of art that is perfectly suited to their individual taste. I love that it completely bypasses the power structure of the art world. It's not dependent upon schools, galleries, critics, grants or major collectors. I know there are even some places that have small works of art available in vending machines. That's taking it to its logical extreme, and you don't have the kind of choice in those cases that you do with a website that features 100 artists or so, but it is accessible in a whole new way. At a time when our culture is seeing the end of art education in the public school system, people have found a way to keep art at the center of the new tech culture.

A painting a day has been advised by some of the great art instructors through out history. Most notably, William Merritt Chase and Robert Henri to name a few from the past. Nice website you have here! It certainly seems to be a successful internet art movement but it has always been an important part in developing your skills as a painter.

When I tell my friends and family that I'm keeping a "Daily Painting" blog they are fascinated. For me it's a way of disciplining myself to paint every day and to improve. One more note: Most days when I write about what I've painted I see a correlation between what I've painted and my moods and feelings. I like that instant gratification and I like all the ideas and studies I'm creating for future large works. It seems to be a movement.

Most of all, because artists themselves decide if it is. And if they say so, it must be so! I am convinced that it is an art movement. Most of all, because artists themselves decide if it is.
