I'm thinking of doing another explanation of a common painting process. Trust me there's tons. You can vote for what you want to see, but keep in mind that I enjoy some more than others, so a multiplier on your vote:

Russian Impressionist style is a love paint and just going for it. It's walking the tight rope over an abyss that could end horribly, you say "Fuck It. I'm a gonna backflip over to the other side and see what happens." It's color and mud in a dance to the death.pic.twitter.com/daGbZfB1Qq

Carving The Design is where you put down a VERY loose design, sometimes just a single color field of the most general tone, then wait for it to dry mostly so it's tacky, and proceed to carve into it with other paint to pull out the final painting.pic.twitter.com/0DjAfEJMXF

I don't know if I have a One Thing at A Time process painting, as I don't use it too much, but basically this is where you pick a single piece of the scene and render the living shit out of it until it's perfect, then slowly render each thing around it until you're done.

Glazing Realism is annoying for a dude with ADHD like me, but basically this is where you put down a monochrome rendering, then you let that dry, then you do successive layers of transparent paint until you have a finely polished painting 60 hours later.Amy's cat is kind of that.pic.twitter.com/fqh15vYl00

There's also a music joke that sums up Glazing Realism vs. any other style: What's the difference between a blues guitarist and a jazz guitarist? A blues guitarist plays 3 chords in front of 1000s of people while a jazz guitarist plays 1000s of chords in front of 3 people.

What's the difference between an impressionist painting and a realist painting? An impressionist painter spends 3 hours on a painting that sells for thousands of dollars, and a realist painter spends thousands of hours on a painting that sells for 3 dollars.
