First ever oil painting. It was a good learning exercise, gonna try to set up a shadowbox, decent lighting, and focus more on actually comparing colors/dimensions next time to see where I can get. I let this thing dry for a month and give it a final oil coat, right?

gently caress there is some talent itt, i really like that paper cutting - i don't know anything about the technique, do you cut the design into paper and then print through it onto the perspex? (don't feel obligated to explain it to me i could easily google it lol)

Painting a mural and struggling with the skin. Acrylic glazes can be hard. Especially when we are talking glazes several feet in size. It's above a local bar. I plan on using masking tape and contact paper / spray paint for the mandala.

When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?

Thank you; It is really fun to do!

I followed the below tutorial but I don't use white paint for the top and bottom, I just use the mix, mostly complementary colors. But everything goes good with black or grey. The silicone Astroglide is the important part.

Thank you so much for the kind words guys! I have lots of depression and have not transcended a childhood indoctrination that All Art is Sinful Frivolity but maybe I will try to show it to some publishers this winter :unsmith:

Skull #2:


Just spent about an hour laying cheap acrylic onto a self-portrait. This is the first time I've tried underpainting and I think I completely misunderstood the point of the exercise and probably set myself back and the time would have been better spent carefully building out a good palette. Does anyone have good constructive criticism on going about underpainting? Should I have purely stuck with the burnt umber and used it to build out the basic shadows of the face?

I just dropped another $40 on cheap acrylic paint for more dirty pours. Help meeeee...

Also, be sure to keep the pieces drying somewhere not too hot. The Astroglide makes it pretty slick when drying and too much heat can make it feel weird.

Show me your pours!

Thank you friend. Your work is very nice. Good control of tone. Looks great, old school.
That's the price of experimenting- if you want to enhance your arsenal you're going to have to be willing to do some work that will not be good to discover how you work best with different techniques.
I'm trying to get a good handle on watercolors. The more I play with them the more I see how powerful they can be, very enjoyable.

Here are some sketches/roughs/experiments with emphasis on watercolor but incorporating ink and colored pencils.

She would appreciate that. Starting a figure drawing workshop / club thing. Hopefully it doesn't blow up in my face... smooth criminal pun intended.

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
Update on the self portrait: I've reached a point where I know I'm going to start struggling and doubting whether my additions are making the painting better or worse. I fundamentally hosed up by lighting myself at 2500K at peak summer tan, so when I was being true-to-nature with the colors I ended up looking like one of Trump's large adult sons.
Would someone be willing to do a quick paintover to point out some obvious mistakes I'm not seeing? I'm sorry I can't provide a reference photo, I'm doing this all in the mirror and I've only got an iphone for a camera (which is why everything that I'm posting looks so overexposed.) Any tips on portraits in general? This is the first one I've done since high school, and I already know I've messed it up in setup in a bunch of different ways.

Wow this is awesome. Reminds me of this artist "soey milk." http://milkbomb.blogspot.ca/

Below is a skateboard i just finished painting (acrylic paint and markers). I found the board on the street 2 years ago and just got around to painting it finally this month.

Then this afternoon I covered it in an epoxy resin and it made some of the markers bleed!!! Even though the guy at the hardware store said it wouldn't!! A little pissed off, even though it doesn't ruin it, it makes it look sloppy.

Oh well, at least I got some photos before I added the epoxy (click for more) The background is kind of a mint green and the color that looks black is actually ultra-dark purple.

Time for my annual "no really, THIS time I'm going to get into painting"



Nevermind that I ended up doing the detail in ink

What do I need to get quality pics? I've got the camera, but what about lighting?
