1/ My current project involves learning about the conventions of painting portraits, figures and narratives developed by Ancient Greek painters over an approx. 200 year period (550-350 B.C.). I’ve been developing my own images in @procreate as I get the hang of the conventions.

@ngadc I saw the show and found the evidence underlying their conclusion far from compelling. Maybe the curators dumbed things down for a general audience, but their bases seemed thin. Visually, to me, it’s a Vermeer.

@IamRWR2 Good luck - great collection

Woman Emerging From Her Bath. I wonder why Greek artists, and later Roman ones too, idealized the profile by removing the notch in the brow. #pfp #digitalpainting #digitalart #classicalart #retro #procreateart #figurativeart #figure #portrait

Woman Holding a Shallow Bowl. I like how some of the Ancient Greek painters arranged seated poses so that the entire body would be visible. #figure #portrait #pfp #NFTCommunity #digitalart #digitalpainting

Experimenting with breaking out of the conventions of Ancient Greek red figure painting a bit — here, by adding some perspective and turning the figure around. #figurepainting #figurative #NFTcommunitiy #pfp #digitalart #digitalpainting #ancientgreece

For me, right when I wake up, at dawn, is the best time. I suspect other artists are night owls, but that few are most productive in the middle of the day.

Do any artists/creators out there ever feel like you’ve only got about 3-4 hours a day, tops, to do your best work, and outside of that window, your skills just aren’t there. I try to guard that time fiercely. #artisticprocess #twitterartists #NFTCommunity

Hector and Andromache. Having fun pairing some images this week. Working my way up to actual multi-figure compositions. #digitalart #digitalpainting #pfp #NFTCommunity #hector #andromache #trojan #iliad #tragic #retro

Standing Women From Behind. Not sure why, or if its even knowable, but it seems like the majority of nude figures I’ve seen on Ancient Greek vases are male. Our culture, on the other hand, leans in the opposite direction. #digitalart #pfp #nftcommunity #figurative #portrait

The Combatants. War and strife were a constant in Ancient Greece, as they remain today. #digitalart #digitalpainting #warriors #NFTCommmunity #pfp #twitterpainter #mythology #ancientgreece

@borispelcer @SuperRare Love the description/ narrative you included in SuperRare. Great image.
