Painting several comparative images is a profitable way to begin to understand the concept of content.
Without emotional content we make pictures; with it, we create art.
The environment becomes inspiration. My response to it becomes idea. And idea becomes purpose and action through interpretation and painting.
Draw and paint the subject the way you want it to be, not as it is.
Content is the meaningful substance of the work.
An artist who makes pictures that look good but express nothing is like a writer whose words sound good but have no meaning.
