A camera is easier than drawing. Why do people paint?

These are two kinds of aesthetics with their own advantages and artistic exploration, which cannot be simply understood.

Simply put, the camera will never take pictures of things that don't exist in reality, but painting can show the comprehensive concept in the author's mind.

Compared with photography, painting is more thorough and passionate in analyzing things. The creation of light and shadow and perfect atmosphere is addictive, and the creativity in the human brain is infinitely extended. The process of painting is the pleasure of breaking through the limit countless times with the cooperation of human thinking and hand-eye skills.

But photography is a more rigorous examination of objects. They use optical principles to keenly capture the near-perfect objects in real things, and they can also hide some ideas in them through composition and reality, so they can quickly capture the fleeting real world.

Therefore, the two arts need not be opposed, but more closely combined.
