Mer-fOKxTOwl@uselessfactsbadlydrawn i mean, they would do a lot of other paintings along with that one exceptional one to try things out. but yeah.
Socke65i'm afraid, that's not exactly how it works😆
Wouter Lindenhof@uselessfactsbadlydrawn @davep
Except those classical painters and sculptors were paid poorly for submissions as well at their time.
ARGVMI~1.PIFYes, but also, painting is easier when there's an undo command, rearrangeable layers, non-destructive transformations, and you can make infinite copies.
Sharp Leaves@uselessfactsbadlydrawn I know the Greeks with their famous sculpture (and excellent but lost-to-history paintings) didn't treat artists too well, there was a contemporary saying along the lines of 'we elevate the sculpture but despise the sculptor'.
Even though I totally agree with the sentiment, let's leave fetishising the pre-democratic past to the fascists, we've always treated artists like garbage and that needs to change.
Mmmm@uselessfactsbadlydrawn There's this Italian guy Jago who does exactly that.

@uselessfactsbadlydrawn man I wish I was rich enough to do this
I would just casually knock on the door of my artist in the afternoon
Frederick!? Any new art?
Yes my leige, I have drawn more macro furry art, this time of a panda hugging the moon
Wonderful!
Franklin@uselessfactsbadlydrawn I hope to someday be well off enough financially to fund an artist full time.
