Which is more difficult and attractive, painting or photography? Why?

Personally, I think painting is more difficult.

Although the two artistic styles need different tools and techniques, they are both used to express inner voices or convey ideas in a certain sense.

One is that you can draw where your eyes go and what your brain shows, so as to express what the painter wants to express; One is to use tools instead of eyes to capture images, record or express ideas.

Technically, the two styles are quite difficult, but painting needs more talent; The style of painting is also varied, and nothing can be mastered casually, and the forms of expression are more diverse, abstract, realistic, cartoon, illustration and so on. The value of a work includes not only the artist's painstaking efforts, thoughts, tempering time, aesthetics and so on. . .

Photography and aesthetic training still depend on the formation of painting foundation. The place where photography is easier to master is the popularity of mobile phone cameras, but it is still a long way from real photography. Compared with ordinary people, they don't pay much attention to it, just as ordinary people know real painting. Never understand or care about the value of a painting. In addition to the visual enjoyment brought by both, most non-professionals and enthusiasts will not care too much about the technical knowledge of light and shadow and composition.

However, in daily life, we can choose to learn these two artistic style expression skills according to our own hobbies, and gradually improve our aesthetic ability.
