Does this even count as painting?

I'd like to challenge the 'traditional mentality' of what counts as art and what doesn't quite count. I am tired of people saying 'tracing isn't real art', or copying characters or figures from TV shows 'is not real art', and so on and so on.

What I am about to do in this video wouldn't qualify as 'real art' if you went by those rules. Is it painting? No. Is it drawing? No again, not quite. But you used Photoshop? Yes, that's right, but it's not digital art.

This notion puts the idea of art 'categories' on it's head. I think that those traditionally upheld ideas are so often harmful to people who are just trying their best to get started or get into something that they are not exceptional at yet.

So if you were wondering if tracing is bad, or if drawing on paintings is bad, or if using paint markers on a canvas is bad, then you're going to want to watch this video.

Join me as I discuss my thoughts on the true core of doing art: using what is at your disposal and doing things because you want to while doing a very easy beginner acrylic painting of an impressionistic fox.
