Illusion & reality
when we paint a landscape we create an illusion of that location on the paper. Everyone knows it. So why push it more and more to make it appear real, by adding details, at the cost of spontaneity and simplification. Let it remain the illusion; suggestive. Let the viewers fill in the blanks.
What do you think?
Yes, I agree, there is always the camera that can depict reality to its core. Human eye perception of the reality makes the painting process more interesting.
