| Unfortunately I can't see any pictures but yes..you are right..there are lots of architectural projects! I haven't thought about this kind of art but indeed it is also one of the greatest things ever! *I would love to see the pics as well)) Added (10.06.2011, 12:57)
---------------------------------------------
Oh, I only had some net problems)) so now I can also enjoy the pictures)) They remind me star wars or something cosmic)) But these are building of the future, probably in some time we will not have our boring square houses anymore and we will live in a top of the star-building)) would you like it?

| What about digital paintings? It is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a digitizing tablet and stylus, and software. The most popular digital painting software is Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, ArtRage. I'm utterly amazed by the skillfulness of the following digital pics.
These ones have been taken from several Internet sites and actually the popularity of the art form is coming with a wet sail. The diversity of the techniques is astounding. I would definitely like to try hand in such painting!

| MissJane, the last pic you've added... It seems like a real photo!  I understand that computer programs can create wonderful effects and make a picture seem fantastic or very natural but this one is really outstanding!

| I also thought it was a photo! Only after reading tones of comments in which people expressed their bewilderment about the pic, I found the author's one where he assured the users that it was drawn and not photographed.
Rina, I know you can draw perfect digital pictures and once you said you wanted to have a graphics tablet. Have you managed to buy one?

| ))) thanks a lot))) but actually I haven't painted for ages - just have no time for it(((( And actually it's the main reason why I didn't buy a graphic tablet - what do I need it for if I paint once a year? But may be when summer comes I'll have more time and my dream will come true

| To tell the truth, I haven't heard about digital painting before. But it is really amazing! The most interesting thing in this kind of painting is that it combines incongruous. But the results turn out brilliant!
Rina, I understand you, I also have no time for painting (I used to draw quite well). The only thing I want to say- do not give up painting even if you don't have a lot of free time because I'm sure you have great skilles))

| Pictures reflect our emotions and inner state. when i'm tired or nervous i choose gray and black color, when everything is good i use bright colors such as red, yellow, orange. Children who have different diseases paint more than a usual artist because they put all their fears and thought in this pictures. That is why i think that pictures is a kind a treatment

| Probably for some people painting is a way to release their suppressed emotions and to unhinge the firmly tied thoughts. My understanding is that you never know what comes out of your efforts, what picture you are likely to get in the end. Painting (or drawing) is a way of socialization, a way to show the world around you the things you meditate upon. It is also a step towards freedom. When I was a kid, I used to draw misshapen bodies with a ballpen on the linoleum beneath the carpets. I mean, so that no one would see them. Paper didn't attract me much, though I was more inclined to draw my masterpieces on the flyleaves of my mother's favourite books. I was not a rebellious child, I didn't craved for being in the spotlight but I was an explorer. I liked to be a surprise. So did my pictures.

| Absolutely! That's what the true mission of art consists in. Still sometimes I feel rather confused. I mean it's becoming more and more difficult to differentiate between real masterpieces and something only vaguely resembling art. Maybe, a lot of amateurs will agree with me. Fancy looking at a picture or an installation and seeing only mess, random dabs, blurred shapes...It's a matter of taste whether we like and appreciate this or that thing but what's to be done with the notion itself? How can we classify the object in front of us as a piece of art? The worst is when a "guru" states authoritatively that you shouldn't hesitate and you take it for granted out of fear.

| I think painting is the best way to reflect our thoughts, emotions. It shows a person’s soul. As for me, I like painting. It helps me to improve my mood. It’s very interesting to look over my drawings for me, because everyone of them is connected with certain recollections.

| I like painting on the whole and it fills our life with sense and shows our life from the other side. As for me, I like pictures and every time I go abroad or simply to St.Petersburg or Moscow I try to visit one or another art gallery and it's really interesting for me to see a new picture a new artist or a new genre in painting. My father is an artist and earlier when I was younger I haven't interested in painting,but later when daddy showed me a lot of his colorful pictures and countries he visited I was really involved in this wonderful world of painting!) When I was a child I went to the school of art for five years I liked it but then I decided to go to the music school and gave it up,but I think it was the right decision

| Those pictures we have at home reflect our state of soul and heart. They have an idea of our imagination. Buying the pictures is quite expensive pleasure but it`s worth of it. They make the atmosphere of our room more comfortable and they even can influence our mood.

| Ilya Yefimovich Repin (Russian: Илья́ Ефи́мович Ре́пин, Ukrainian: Ілля Юхимович Рєпін, (5 August [O.S. 24 July] 1844, Chuguyev, Kharkov Governorate, Russian Empire – September 29, 1930, Kuokkala, Viipuri Province, Finland) was a leading Russian[1] painter and sculptor of the Peredvizhniki artistic school. An important part of his work is dedicated to his native country, Ukraine. His realistic works often expressed great psychological depth and exposed the tensions within the existing social order. Beginning in the late 1920s, detailed works on him were published in the Soviet Union, where a Repin cult developed about a decade later. He was held up as a model "progressive" and "realist" to be imitated by "Socialist Realist" artists in the USSR.

| Well, painting is not confined only to art galleries. Nowadays we can see a lot of amateurs painting portraits of anybody who wishes to have one. To tell you the truth, once I was having a stroll with my friends in a park and decided to sit for a portrait (I always wondered whether I would be different or not :)). So, in a few minutes I was given a picture of myself and...I was loss for words, really)) a few strokes and here is a masterpiece)) And sometimes I feel regret there are so many talented painters who stays obscure for the rest of his/her life.
Another thing I'd like to talk about is graffiti. It's getting more and more popular among the youth. However, there are plenty of old and new buildings that are thickly covered with graffiti. What are your thoughts on all of this?

Do you have some pictures in your flat?
