These days ago the rain has been the main protagonist in this month of April where that famous saying has always been with us that I think we should not even replicate. It is also in the rain that I have sometimes looked for some painters who have tried to reflect that humid and special environment with those smells that the earth or asphalt provides in a city.
Kohn, Djukaric and Imre Toth They went through these lines to show us their art in transmitting that rain that falls incessantly on our hair. Wang Ling too dares to carry the rain to that digital piece that he has called "Hongkong" and that takes us back to that city with those predominant grays and transformed into the main protagonists.
Ling's digital painting has a great finish and with well-given lines it allows us to enter into that special atmosphere that is created in a city like Hong Kong and those peculiarities so present in those buildings and that urban panorama.
It is Ling himself who share your way of working with digital from YouTube. You can get closer to his channel from right here.
We will not compare the hours of study you may need the most classic works to the digital ones. One difference for the latter is that you will always have "Control + Z" to eliminate the last stroke or color brush. While it may take 1000 hours to achieve some mastery with pencil or watercolor, if one follows the tutorials found on YouTube, with effort and dedication, one can find worthy results.
For this reason, Ling's work helps us to show how choosing suitable brushes and textures can imitate certain finishes of a work oil on a canvas. The digital, in any case, in skilled hands will always have a great finish as in this case with Ling.
