Re: dba's not dead !
Thanks Taron. This kind words help me alot, especially for this spontaneous approach of painting which is really not my comfort zone.
Would you believe that Verve is such a great experiment for me that it prompted me to try real painting with real acrylic ?! My only experience concerning traditional art is limited to drawing and I have no clue how one use real brush When I started to publish comics, off course, doing traditionals colors wasn't an option. To much time, to much work. Soon enough, I started also to draw directly on computer. The result is I forgot about reality. Until now, when playing with Verve made me realize how I missed real matter.
For now, the result on paper or wood is absolutely disastrous , I have no patience at all (can you imagine there is no undo function on real brush ?! ) but it doesn't matter at all. The important thing is, no software ever made me feeling so close to a real feeling that it would be natural to test for real in the same way ! I'm quite sure I will never abandon computer for creation, and I don't want to spend time for learning about real painting (tubes and all the hardware is to much expansive), it's just about pleasure, feeling, and a fantastic dialogue between virtual and real. Reintroducing the body in the process. Verve was the exact bridge it needed.
