I am a self-taught artist, started to paint in 1993.
For me, three components make a good painting: it is a reflection of the reality – not necessarily real life, it could be a reflection of an emotion, or a feeling, or a dream; it is the unique vision of the Artist – which, along with his unique personal technique, can potentially produce a masterpiece; and it is an imprint of the Artist’s feelings and emotions about the subject of his painting, coloured with his past and present experience, through which the painting communicates with us.
This last component is very important. Did you ever ask yourself why you like a particular painting? Is it because you see something in it that evokes some emotions, feelings, reminiscences in you as you look at it? If this is the case, then the artist has achieved his goal.
Though pictures do not “talk” to all people equally, and probably they should not, because we are all different, as different our experiences of this life.
I work in oil.
