Honestly, none of them were all that impressive to me, but my patrons enjoyed them, and I was finally able to move into a proper studio.Īnd that's what's so marvelous about Passpartout. Unlocking the spray can paved the way for my "Sky" series, where I applied different layers of white and blues in an attempt to create the perfect depiction of the heavens overhead. Observing what sold and what didn't led me to rack my brain for new subjects, which is what led to my unfortunate frog, but it also led me to try new methods. Critics and art lovers will comment on your use of color, your skill, even your choice of subject matter, and from those comments you can get a general sense of what the zeitgeist wants. Not everything you make will sell, you see. "Mouse With Vegetables" sold quickly, but "Terror" - a toothy grin with steam radiating from it (or at least some squiggly lines) - sat on the easel, earning the disdain of passersby until I finally trashed it. I cast around for something to recreate and settle on a mouse toy, which for some reason I choose to pair with a carrot and banana. But I have to keep creating something to sell in Passpartout, and so I exercise parts of my brain that normally lie dormant. I don't even doodle I'm a word person, not a picture person. I know I can't draw, so I don't, as a rule. If you really are one of those amazing people with an artistic gift, cranking out canvases in Passpartout is a wonderful way to engage your talents.but I think it may actually be more fun if you're terrible like me. The art you create is entirely up to you, though at first you only have a few basic brushes at your disposal. There are no other plot twists.You're a starving artist on the streets of Paris, just trying to make enough to afford wine and a nice crusty baguette. The plot is very simple – you need to become a famous artist, and for this you need to draw pictures. He painted a picture, named it, sold it – and again in the same circle. The only drawback of the game is the monotony. You will simply be bombarded with accusations of plagiarism, and in order to save your reputation, you still have to destroy the ill-fated copy. If you managed to sell your painting for a tidy sum, do not even hope that you will be able to sell a copy of it again. Keep in mind that buyers don’t like repetitive stories. However, with each new brush you will have more options for creating paintings. Purchasing new tools is a rather lengthy process. After selling the paintings, you can buy a spray brush and move your paintings from a dilapidated storage to a first-class gallery. Satisfy the needs of potential buyers, and you are guaranteed success. Be prepared for the fact that the public will not immediately accept you, and, looking at your masterpieces, the audience will cough significantly.Ĭriticism of the public is very diverse – from truly constructive to frankly absurd. In order to find buyers, you must name your paintings and put them on public display.
You need to convince people around that their life is incomplete without your paintings.
To become a professional artist, practice alone is not enough. Keep practicing and Van Gogh glory is sure to await! Criticism Get ready for the fact that your first attempts may be, to put it mildly, far from ideal. Everything is very simple – choose the desired color from the palette and draw on the canvas. Initially, you have only one brush at your disposal, but its thickness can be varied using the mouse wheel.
The process of creating canvases is similar to drawing in Microsoft Paint. The space for creativity includes an easel with an unlimited number of canvases, an almost inexhaustible supply of paints and a brush. The main aspect of the game, of course, is drawing. Nevertheless, the young painter continues to create in the hope that his work will someday adorn the walls of the Louvre. Life in Paris is not cheap – just baguettes for breakfast and wine for dessert will cost a pretty penny. You will have to face an avalanche of criticism and an even greater avalanche of bills to pay. Despite the difficult life, the artist must create paintings and sell them all over the world. The first steps are not easy, because the young talent has to live and work in a dilapidated closet. Passpartout puts you in the shoes of an aspiring artist trying to survive in beautiful but brutal Paris. In 2015, a team of five developers released a prototype and now, two years later, has presented the final version of the colorful story.
