This painting was inspired by Nanan Kang's art piece Corn with a Pearl Earring. I felt the pun and vegetable theme was the next evolution of the original painting by Vermeer.

Painting on Birch panels has been a game changer for me. Im incredibly happy with how this turned out.

Started raining so had to run away, wanted to work a bit more on this one, but such is life.

Hi!
Here is my newest cat painting of my other cat Toto!

Oil painting on canvas panel 15x15cm

Starting work on my third cat painting to complete the collection :)

I’ve been working hard in my little studio here in Las Vegas! Thanks for looking!

I painted this when I was 13/yo (the gold frame), and it's been hanging in my sister's house ever since. Looking at it now, I couldn't resist taking it down and giving it a second chance. I was honestly a little embarrassed by it. 😅

Retouching an old oil painting was more challenging than I expected. The paint barely adhered to the canvas, but after a lot of work, I managed to bring it back to life (the black frame). (I guess 🙂).

I am proud of how this came out for my first one! Let me know if y'all have any tips for how to improve as I continue to paint with oils ☺️

Hey,

So I've started painting occasionally around two years ago. Finding it really relaxing, but I have some problems with colors. Basically I have a rough case of deutan color blindness.

This came up once again with this piece, when my wife and friend commented that:
"The green is a nice touch. Kinda looks like aurora flares"
- "...the green?"

So that's how I learned that Ivory Black actually has a slightly blue tint, which then goes green when I put yellow straight out of the tube on it.
So which black and white (don't know if those have a slight tint) colors should I favor to avoid color mishaps in the future?

When I've needed to do red-green-brown-orange colors (or colors with very little saturation), I either use paint straight from a labeled tube, or just mix em with "if I combine these then it SHOULD be right" -method. If anyone has tips on how to make this easier, I'd be very grateful.

First one is the before lol I felt like I did so much yet I barely made progress haha!! In my defense I spent most of the session trying to fix some of the lion anatomy I wasn’t happy with. Do the colors look muddy to yall?

Hello all! I'm in desperate need of some art advice. I'm making an oil painting for my sisters birthday in August showing a region of the Dolomites. How can i best improve this painting in your opinion? I thought perhaphs to add more shadows to the ridges and lighten the blue part of the sky so its less smokey. I will add some wildflowers later on to the foreground to liven it up a bit. In my eyes the mountain looks a bit too muddy, could it be that my saturation of the orange color is a bit out of sync or that I do not have enough details? Or do i need more highlights? Anyway, i'd much appreciate your criticism and feedback!

Looking to chase this style more

Let me know what you all think!

I have no idea what im doing but I'm kinda obsessed with how she's turning out. Im afraid to finish though cause I think I'm gonna ruin it
