PAINTING ... ART OR PRACTICE .....?



Just started writing on my views on what really paintings are ? and what do they mean to us as human being ? Now a days the computer graphics and machines are successful in putting images and images as hand made paintings ..... when I see to them I feel its tough time seeing the painters and art in trouble. But when I was nervous on this for day or two I root caused this to a answer of a question " What really paintings are ? "

Painting shouldn't be what any one see .... any thing that can be drawn sitting in-front of any object and drawing it as is ..... this was painting few years back but the camera's so advanced that they beat human art. The exact photo image always a better than the drawn painting. This is my view any one can debate on this. So we all as artists those who paint and those who love to feel should understand new philosophy behind the art to make it survive.

The painting should not be drawn observing any object, that makes the feelings not to come on paper rather ends up in doing machine job for which the camera's are made up. What I tried since my child hood is :

1) Get the blank paper ....
2) Just stare at it go blank by thoughts and understand what the paper is looking for ...
3) At the end of second step you must realize a state of mind and soul at certain condition where you talking to paper and color.
4) Just start putting colors on paper , drawing objects with same state of mind and with free hands ...
5) Keep on drawing it again and again till you feel the completeness and a joy ..... see that how the paper turned out .... feel it .... I know you will stop putting colors only when you feel it complete .
6) After this again stare at same paper .... I promise you that what you have drawn is the current mental and psychological state of your life .... every time you do it ... it turn out to be different picture ...
7) I think the above is the real art of painting ...... where we not drawing predetermined objects.... instead let the hand draw what mind, heart and soul says ..... lets keep the dirty brain(thoughts) out from wonderful art ......

I have practiced painting on same way since I got brush in my hand ..... I am uploading few of my paintings .... this turned out to be a good meditating and soul facing exercise which machines like cameras wont do ? will not be in future .... SAVE ART UNDERSTAND ART.......

Just thoughts on my view of painting ........
