Lately I've been just sort of doodling but with paint. Basically smearing paint attempting to make it look good. Sometimes I'll see a form that looks like an actual object and I'll try to refine it into that image.
Is there any artistic worth in what I'm doing , or is it just good practice? Has anyone done anything similar?

If you make it into an actual painting, yeah. I don't see anything refined in your pic.
>or is it just good practice?
Are these the only options you can think of? No, I wouldn't call it good practice.

well this is in essence "thumb-nailing". It's when you make random shapes with different values in an attempt to organise a composition before you actually start to paint.
It's like a sketch except that you're 'sketching' out value patterns and shapes instead of lines.

>to add
but if you're just randomly smearing paint over the canvas with no thought behind it then it's just nonsense.

Yes, it's the artist equivalent of automatic writing, can be good for creative purposes

I'll post what I get when I'm finished.
Can you tell that it's oil painting? Any tips I'm new to oil.
Is there an issue with using oil paint on acrylic paper ? Is it worth getting an oil or watercolor paper ?
Does making patterned gobs of oil paint make for a vango esque painting

Does anyone else seem to paint their subconscious while trancedly painting randomly. This was originally meant to be me speaking to my therapist. Too embarrassed to confess about my compulsive masturbation. And here I've spotted a shadowy man on the floor seemingly clutching his green penis
you know, i think its what distinguishes artists from the other; the ability to pout the subcontinent into context, such as images or music etc. supposedly that is what advertisers do.
i don't know much about psychoanalytical stuff. maybe you can ask lit. they are kind or holierthanthou when it comes to any thing in their filed, but some time they can be insightful...sometimes....
did you close your other post you little faggot or did i miss it. i may have missed it.
