      I've been doing this new thing where I draw the amature of the rectangle on a canvas, then just draw everything in a still life as if it mostly fits in there already. Totally works for still life paintings since nobody actually knows what the original scene looked like, BUT:

      I *also* find that even pros can't really tell that I got the position of everything "wrong". I show people the paintings next to the subject and they have to study it to figure out I moved things around slightly. It's very interesting, almost as if the composition hides it.

      That’s the beauty of it. You get to decide what stays and what goes and if you need to move something, it’s your creation.

      Not at all. When artists want to prove I shouldn't be an artist they're all about everything being photographically exactly the same, or they love setting up "proof" scenarios that they wouldn't ever attempt like with 2 minutes to draw a woman in a dark crowded bar.

      An artist trying to prove you are not has only proven they don’t know the definition of an artist themselves. Fuck them.

      Everyone says that, but then "fuck them" doesn't work when these people have a louder voice or if they have more authority. The actual way to answer them is to be better at critique and know my shit.

          I don’t know the full context of what or who you’re dealing with any why.

          It's pretty simple: I say I can paint. Douchebag "artiste" decides to prove a "right brain" programmer can't paint. Cue the impossible tasks and revoking of my artistic license.
