Anyone in London know where I can get these Claybord things I've been hearing about? I've been to several of the stores listed on their website but they either don't actually carry it, or only carry the kind mounted on wooden frames, or would need to ship it in from a warehouse hundreds of miles away--and that won't arrive before I leave on Tuesday, so I need to find a place that has them onsite immediately. Since I'm touring the rest of the time, I can't order from Amazon either since nobody can receive the package for me at this Airbnb. Edit: for the record, the answer was Russell and Chapele. The website of Ampersand lists many stores that carry it, but most of them said I'd have to place an order. Fortunately, this store was close enough to the National Gallery that I was able to drop by and find a whole bunch of them up for grabs.

Made some things for an art auction for a local charity. Apparently i'm enjoying doing gradients lately. Watercolors:   This one was actually done in the office with acrylics provided. Havent worked with acrylics in years. like riding a bike I guess.

I made my first oil painting for a Christmas gift. Learned about Gamsol shortly after starting it. The clouds / mist didn't turn out so well. Any criticism would be welcome.

Mainly, that your saturation is way high, and the halves of the sky seem mismatched. I don't know oils enough to be more specific, sorry.  Does anyone have any basic "wish I'd known this when I started" tips for gouache? I'm just starting with them, and it looks like it might take a long time to get used to them. Fun work though, I love their flexibility.

It's crazy how desaturation changes the whole tone. I still have some work to do, to even it out.  If anyone is looking for some 101 and inspiration with oil, I highly recommend Lena Danya on YouTube. She explains workflow, materials, and makes fantastic pieces.

Not sure where else to post this, but for reasons of bad impulse control I was subscribed to multiple art boxes and now I have all these things I will never ever use. My employer is covering the shipping costs so I can give away a few boxes of random stuff and ship them where ever in the world. The only real compensation would be posting the artwork you make with the random box here in this thread. Right now it seems I have the following themes (to prevent them from getting too random): - - 1x some weird markers All boxes will be stuffed with pencils, erasers and assorted paper not necessarily related to the included materials until full or reached max weight of 1900 gramme after which world wide shipping becomes crazy. Post here if you wat to call dibs on a box and send me a PM with your address. Thank you for helping me clean up. click here for a super high res picture Warning: I am keeping some things here, but only a little bit. Please don't ask for specific materials, it is supposed to be somewhat of a random box and my niece might want the Chameleon fineliners. edit: it is ok to request a specific box.

Rather Tonic posted:Work in progress! Loosely inspired by Rather Tonic's awesome scene above and some localish woodland in autumn.  Been trying to make my landscapes abit more abstract and let more raw colour in. Switching from oils to acrylics has really helped me loosen up abit, the speed of drying makes me feel alot more up for trying stuff, knowing I can go over it again soon.

The lifecycle of my paintings: - "Hey, that's a fun idea" or "Ooh, I like money" - "Cool, that drawing looks goood!" - "WTF I've ruined it" - "Ohgod, I'm gonna have to start over" - "Eh, better, now it looks like a wikihow illustration at least" -> Make food. - ??? - Done.  Think it'll look a lot better when I've got some nice vibrant blues in there. No midtones at the moment. I hate it, and everything it stands for, of course, but that'll change (I hope) soon enough. Does everyone get the thing where paintings look terrible for ages and you've just about convinced yourself to start over when they start to look ok? lofi fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Dec 28, 2019 |

 Oil on masonite. Still trying to get the water in the background right but i'm feeling pretty happy about the crow and foreground. Dead rabbit needs a little more finesse.

I am a super novice painter and I am having some issues with perspective that I can't seem to work through on my own. I started this painting of a sunset with a sort of villa and I wanted to have a road going horizontal across the landscape. I've tried putting it in a few different ways and it always ends up looking like I'm looking down on the road from above as opposed to straight on. I'd love any advice folks have on this particular issue I'm having or more generally a good resource for learning about perspective.

Even if you are you might be able to add some small detail that enhances the perspective. Look at these, I assume this is what you mean by 'a road across the landscape' - Some roads do actually look like a flat block, especially if they are at the horizon line, but something like a small fence on one side or lane markers on the road make the perspective clearer. Anything you can think of like small stones or plants on or around the road help to give a reference for the eye.

Anything you can think of like small stones or plants on or around the road help to give a reference for the eye. Looking at those the key thing that adds perspective to them is that the lane that's away from the viewer is shorter than the one closer to the front of the canvas. You could use ruts from cart tracks for the same purpose. Though from a composition PoV, mightn't it look better with the road going from left to right behind the villa?

^^How much did you plan that out before starting? I can tell from the newspaper on the ceiling there's already more forethought than I'd have done! I tried to get a muddy path looking more interesting here than in the last painting, really enjoyed how this turned out.

I usually make a digital pre-visualization to go by. As for the "room prep" I cover everything up in newspaper/plastic because otherwise I will paint things I'm not supposed to such as the floor or other walls. This is the final result:  Nice job on your path, I like the colors and the leaves' details.

Copics are great, but remember to put something under your drawing surface, they love to bleed through stuff.

Water mixable oils are great! The ones I've used aren't really "water mixable", but what they are is cleanable with soap and water, which solves 90% of my problem with oils. They still eat brushes, mind, so don't try to use your sable with them

lofi posted:Copics are great, but remember to put something under your drawing surface, they love to bleed through stuff. Alcohol based markers will bleed most. So there is that. On the topic of painting. My best advice is a cheap medium. Floetrol is a latex medium but works just fine with acrylic. Costs MUCH less and works very very well. 16 bucks for a gallon vs. 20+ for less than half that amount at an art store. EDIT: Crosspost from daily drawing thread. Another sketch of a Jordu Schell sculpt.

I was an ADHD kid who doodled instead of paying attention in class but I never thought anyone would care to see my doodles until last year at the ripe old age of 32, I've been drawing with nicer pens on nicer papers and taking proper scans and posting things online since around November of last year. Everything I draw (including two sets of custom shoes now) is 80%+ fineliner pens and I've gone through an absurd amount of black fineliners (staedtlers/microns) these last few months. Can anyone recommend a good online supplier for (hopefully cheap) pens, and/or another brand I should look into, or some kind of refillable equivalent, or anything else I can do to save money on these things? I've tried buying staedtlers on amazon and ended up with weird ones manufactured at the same factory as my locally-purchased ones, but with almost no ink, or that literally fell apart after dropping 3 feet onto concrete. ex:     (more & hq: https://imgur.com/a/lYlPHMP )
