Is This Cheating in Art?

Описание: I’m a professional oil painter — and yes, I just used VR to start a new painting.
In this video, I show you how I used the Meta Quest 3 and the Contour app to transfer my composition onto a large panel. Some call it a crutch but it's part of a long tradition.

From Vermeer’s camera obscura to the grid systems of the Renaissance, artists have always used the tools of their time. The Contour app isn’t perfect but it gets surprisingly close and has earned a place in my toolkit. It doesn’t replace drawing skill. Every brushstroke is still a drawing decision, made by hand and guided by years of experience.

What you’ll see in this video:

How used the Quest 3 with Contour for large-scale compositions

The pros and cons of using AR in a traditional art practice

Historical examples of artists using technology — from the camera obscura to photographic projection

Why this tool doesn’t make the art — the artist does

Whether you’re a painter, an art history nerd, or just curious about where tradition meets technology, this video will give you a new perspective on what it means to be an artist today.
