I think traditional paintings will never be forgotten, but their popularity is decreasing rapidly.
I observe this too. 😥
I love traditional paintings. Those are personal created with great effort, time and love. You can really feel the emotions the artist poured in every artwork.
I can say that about digital art too, but still, it's not the same. I like them both, but not in the same way. I don't know if I can express that with words though.
I totally get you. I feel the same. Maybe its the element of nostalgia when you work on something with traditional tools. Anything not digital is nostalgic.
