Oh, yes. I often find myself wanting to fix something that another artist painted during a speedpaint or mater class. There is no such feeling on the finished image, but it is during the process that I understand that I would have got a completely different result, because I would never in my life do the way the artist does on the video, I would do it differently. This is our difference. Drawing ten of us the same thing, we would never get the same result. Especially in paints, since there is a run not only in tone, but also in color. Every artist see differently. Two artists see differently too.

I too taught art, talked about learning to 'see' right off the bat, and drawing loosely to block in before putting details. only one word I want us all to start saying/using in perception or execution is: (from your video) "the brain is providing us with models of what we're seeing and this is largely "subconscious" so that this fills in ... " 'unconscious' is the guy waiting for the ambulance, 'subconscious' (or subconsciously) is the guy painting and all his knowledge from experience or education is coming to the surface naturally.

3:54 regarding seeing colours in photos that aren’t there...i have a short story i want to share. I was in St Augustine, FL a while back and was driving on the Bridge of Lions. It was cloudy with some sun rays/streaks peaking out from behind some clouds, and it had just begun to rain. There was slow traffic, so i was able to look past the bridge rails into the water, and i promise you, the scene looked amazing and immediately saw/imagined it... ...as an epic image from Pirates of the Caribbean or some other majestic fantasy movie. It was just beautiful and other worldly and just perfect. I couldn’t stop on the bridge to get a photo, and parking down the street was hard to find. I went back a few days later and was disappointed to find that that unique look was gone. This happens to me often; seeing a more exaggerated image of an already beautiful scene in my head. It also happened to me in DC...I’ve forgotten the name of the bridge there. Does this ever happen to anyone else? Also, thank you so much for this video. It really helps me reimagine my subjects and how i start drawing them. I usually draw without my glasses because my sight is blurry without them (and this helps a lot), but I’ve never started with geometric shapes before. Maybe that’s one of my problems. Hahaha.
@johncahill3644

This is good stuff, but I would offer an additional model...perhaps the underlying model. When we look at things we identify them and see the "template" in our mind rather than really look at what we're seeing. When we look at a "chair" we really see our template for that kind of chair and maybe notice obvious adjustments (like an accent piece or maybe a stain). So while we look at that specific chair, we really just take note of "chair a" plus "accent thing". Artists on the other hand, either naturally or train themselves, to look at the details of the chair they are drawing. They don't see a chair, they see lines in space...they don't see a "Brown" chair, they see an interplay of colors changing with the light hitting it just so. I say all this (and it's not new btw) because it helps to explain the various tricks for seeing those "lines in space" as described here and elsewhere.

for me it's a simplification of shapes and forms i see, tubes, boxes and ovals are the most basic which help you ease into showing the perspective and position of the objects, then you can also dive into re designing these forms/shapes more to the character of what you're drawing, although human body parts or any animal's have quite specific and varied design (a lot of rythms and patterns too) that i would say having a source to learn from will accelerate the process of you managing to draw those usually (my only recommendation to this day is steve huston tbh). when you make art, you express yourself and the way you choose to see and translate life into the representational abstraction that it is! so each artist *will* see and do things as they feel and differently, i think that's the beauty of it, plus sharing it with other so relatable artists...

It's interesting how our mood and our situation on each moment affects the art we create. Because we're a senscient creature. We relate ourselves to the world through feelings. And artists have their history as well, have their traumas, have all the things we bring with us through life, the good and the bad as imperfect humans. All these are placed within the art we create. That's one of the reasons I like impressionism so much, because it is sort of a well balanced blend between realism and feelings. It allows us some abstraction but without falling into something all abstract, you know. There's still some sort of a more clear material connection to the world we live so people who sees the work can relate themselves to it easier. And by the way, I don't want to criticize both the realism and the abstractionism with my statement, I just want to point out some of the relevant things that impressionism can bring us as well. I think all forms of art complement each other. Art have been helping me a lot to relieve my problems I have in life, I wish I was a better artist with thr proper discipline and techniques. But I have this strong thing in my soul asking me, bringing me into painting. This need inside me to express myself, to feel the paint in the brush, to relieve it in the canvas. It's such an instint, just like the thirsty for a glass of water. I hope the art I make could be of some use for others as well. Just like your art inspired me.

'It's about drawing what you see, not what you think you see', is the phrase I used in art class at school to sound profound. The visual system is very good at interpreting the three dimensional world we live in, and it's evolved for the purposes of hunting prey, avoiding predators and swinging through treetops, not for painting. This is all stuff that one has to train out of themselves in order to paint accurately. To stop treating the objects in front of you as representations of cylinders, spheres or other 'idealised' shapes, but as colours projected onto your retina. When we were first taught painting, we were given, among other things, wine glasses and mugs to paint. A mug's easy, right? It's a cylinder, so draw an ellipse with two lines running down the outer rim. But a mug's walls have thickness, and in order to capture how it actually looks instead of how it's represented, you need to make the lower, inner rim smaller than the upper outer rim, and include the shadows and specular highlights along the rim, rather than represent it all with a single black line. It's all about being honest with what you're seeing, and figuring out what makes a thing look like a thing. My advice for any budding artist, is to learn tow to paint accurately first, then gradually learn which parts of the process you can abstract and cut corners on. As they say, you need to learn the rules before you can break them. This video does a great job in explaining that second part when it comes to chaotic natural scenery. No one's going to be upset the leaves you painted aren't exactly as they are in reality, they're not even going to notice. With that in mind, you can go ahead using a few representative examples. Once you get to James Gurney's level of skill, it's not really about reality anymore, it's about verisimilitude.

for me drawing/painting is like summoning something from a the plane of your mind ✍️👁👁 the skill level of the artist helps for eyes to capture details and colors. the brain understands your minds eye more clearly and exports all of that into a canvas/paper. The hands learn to follow that synchronization to pull that from the unseen inside our minds to what is seen to everyone by using lines and shapes. The process is truly magical ✨

I started my painting journey last year watching vids like yours. The first rule I created for myself was #1 Paint what you see. Not what you think you see. An example is to look at something like a pot, cellphone or whatever. Look at it in detail. Then go into another room without the object and try to paint or draw it. Now go back to the pot and compare the painting / drawing to it. You should realize that it looks like a simplified take on the object. Whenever you take your eyes off the subject for, in my case, 4 seconds, while paining; you are NOT PAINTING WHAT YOU ARE SEEING but WHAT YOU THINK YOU SAW. The brain super simplified that object when it was being processed and removed the details. So when you recall it, you lost most of the details. It's similar to taking a picture and then making it small. Saving it. Then trying to blow it back up again. It lost the details when it was shrunk. Now it looks like a pixelated mess when you try to increase the size. I try to make the parallel on how our computer screens work. Think about playing a first person shooter game and having the screen refresh every 5-10 seconds. Do you think that will help you make the best decision on the thing in front of you? So why are you doing that while painting? Your eyes should be shifting back and forth from the subject to the painting while your hands move in free flow. Do not overthink your hand movements otherwise you'll start painting what you THINK you saw. Do not stare at the canvas for too long or you will start to paint what YOU THINK YOU SAW. This rule helped me get far in the painting process in 7 months. The other rule that helped me was not lying to myself when I got the form wrong. I didn't want to admit that the form I started with was not a good foundation. Then I spent countless hours trying to fix the painting. I should have just analyzed what I did right and wrong then restarted again or moved on to the next. Anyway rule #2 was #2 Learn your materials well so you know exactly how they work and how they react. So that when you are in the middle of painting something you are not surprised by the outcome. I took something simple and learned how to mix colors, use the tools to see what they do on canvas. This also includes building that muscle memory on moving your hand strokes to get desired results. My third rule was #3 #3 Only put the details that matter in the painting. I was painting an old man with a lot of wrinkles. The first time I tried I got hung up on the details I blasted through form/structure, lighting and shadows, etc. Just to get into painting in the wrinkles. The painting was a disaster. It was then I realized that I should, simplify the subject into simple shapes at the start of the painting. Then continue to add smaller shapes that start defining the subject. Then once I can see a resemblance of what I was painting, THEN add in the details... NOT ALL OF THEM!!! JUST THE ONES THAT DEFINE THE SUBJECT!!! I don't need 100 wrinkles to show that he is old....I only need 15 in the right locations. In about a year I was able to go from nothing to pretty decent getting like 75%-85% likeness. To me it's a fight between what my mind tries to simplify and process and what I actually see in front of me. Most veteran artists have the upper hand in this fight. They have many tools at their disposal. For example, one tool is learning anatomy. This helps put quick place holders on what should be in a certain painting for you to go back to and clean up and shape it to the subject you are painting. I am not versed well in anatomy so when I paint muscles, I only keep their shapes and hide my inefficiencies by keeping the painting a bit loose. Some artists know how they sit on the skeleton and make those muscles look wonderful.

"How to see" is the first thing I teach in my long form classes. Your explanations were dead on, James! Good to see Smooth again! Now if you could only teach him to paint, you could retire! Ha!

I love your painting channel. I paint in acrylic but just bought a water color kit to try this. Thank you

Not only do artist see differently, they think differently. Pareidolia goes beyond see shapes, you can rearrange shapes in your mind. The thought of moving objects and inventing objects into places, they sometimes do not belong. My imagination works wonders, sometimes.

I’ve got this book on French Academic Painting in the 1900’s, and it stated that medical students would attend anatomy drawing classes, to learn to observe nature.
