I teach 3D modelling and rendering and also drawing and oil painting. Many time in my traditional media classes I will use the term ambient occlusion (AO) and describe it in exactl…

old school comic artists used gouache for the fact that it was easy to photo reproduce (no reflection) and easy to correct. The comic artist Glen Fabrey still uses gouache. digital…

One paper I am always citing to my students when discussing composition in painting is: ‘Cultural differences in lateral biases on aesthetic judgments: The effect of native reading…

Whoops. Sorry. That last sentence should have been deleted.

My experience was a year spent working as a forester. One of our duties was to keep the wood burning stoves supplied. I remember learning that ash got its name from the fact that i…

Experienced wood splitter here. All your points are valid. I had to ruin one perfectly good axe handle before I learned how to swing. However, the sim is still a lot of fun.

> if you're fascinated by things that burn and explode, this book is not for you. Translation… ‘read me now!’

Been there. Im gonna guess that 90% of HN folk have similar stories to tell.

> I’s great technology for long-term archiving. Dam right. It’s a medium that a reasonably intelligent individual from any time in future/past history could intuitively understand.…

Unfortunately, we are unlikely ever to see any of Delecroix’s paintings as they were intended to be seen. Fading pigments and other factors make this true for every painting, but d…

> You seem to be very focused on color. Guilty as charged. However,... from a certain point of view image editing is all about color. I guess the exception would be Adobes new gene…

Yes, it would work like that. Moreover, the adjustments concatenate. In other word if a node darkens an image to the point of blackness, the following node can restore the original…

Are you referring to Lightroom's masking capability? Indeed, even in Photoshop it is possible to select a color and perform a masked adjustment. Lightroom's selection/masking tools…

Thanks for pointing that out. You are indeed correct. However, from what I can see DaVinci's tools still have the edge. With Capture One the feedback on what hues have been selecte…

I believe that DaVinci’s edge is the excellent masking and node based editing it offers (via the color page) and the insanely powerful hue tools. Neither Lightroom nor Potatoshop h…

Agreed that the photo editing features are killer. AFAIK no other photo editing app allows the user to selectively desaturate a hue and its ability to adjust scoring to restricted …

I teach digital art and am also a painter. When I was a student I loved filling sketchbooks with drawings - like a collection of ideas. To a large degree my web bookmarks and scree…

If Mari (texture painting app) and Nuke (vfx compositor) had a baby together it would be the perfect node based photoshop alternative. The brushes of Mari are insanely good and col…

> Ternary is probably way better at modeling the real world, but the complexity could make code hard to understand. Maybe that can be solved. Is it not true that the brain process …

it is a little known fact that there was a version of Photoshop made for SGI's Irix.

I feel your pain, and my students are design students

There are two copyrights at work: that of the artwork itself, and that of the photo thereof.

A few points on how a painter's intentions do not always align with how we see their work many years later: Generally, a painting is best viewed and photographed in as close a ligh…

> Any suggestion how can I add such color visualization across body of work of a given artist or a style? I think that the best visualization of the colors of a painting is by usin…

I have a history of research in computational aesthetics with an emphasis on old master paintings. A few notes: 1. You have used the RGB hue wheel not the RYB hue wheel. The later …
