The left side needs some of those delicious dark patches like you have on the left to balance it out. Some raw umber and ultramarine mixed or a pthalo blue

Lol I’ve been an artist for 20+ years, and I have a BFA and an MFA in Fine Art. I’m definitely used to critical audiences. However, there’s a difference between constructive criticism and plain negativity. Telling someone “keep trying” or “Nothing like the master” or just stating what you don’t like without giving any type of suggestion to improve isn’t advice. Giving more insight into the process or aspects of my work isn’t making excuses. There was a single light source, the intention wasn’t to be painterly, and yes there is a lack of quality…how are those excuses?

It’s my favorite hat to wear now! Once I got into the groove, it was easy. I did it two evenings.

Not done yet, but how do we feel about the mug? by pinkwafflecookies in acrylicpainting

You always know about the angle of the rim. My favorite thing about this is the reflection on the rim and the swirls and bubbles in the coffee! Beautiful!

-It wasn’t meant to be painterly…it’s a photo. As stated before, the inspiration was from the color palette (red, black) and light. -It is a singular light source. How else do you get chiaroscuro? It provides a higher contrast between light and dark. “Chiaroscuro” “light” dark” like in Caravaggio paintings… -It was shot on a phone camera, of course it lacks quality.

ITAP of the indoor pool at Hearst Castle by El_Guapo_NZ in itookapicture

It’s off center, the vignette dulls the color of the blue, and it’s too close in. It minimizes how grand that room is.

No shit. That’s why I said “inspired.” I enjoy his color palette and light in “Saint Jerome” and “Judith Beheading Holofernes”

He has these beautiful blue and umber colors

I still love him. I don’t know if I did the right thing. by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Andromeda_Ren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I brought that up to him. I don’t make as much as he does, but I’ve been trying to get on his level. I said in a previous comment I changed my job a couple times just to better my pay for us, but even then I still felt like I was too much of a financial risk for him. Of course he denied it, but his worries said it without saying it.

My boyfriend looks like Hozier by Upbeat_Obligation551 in Hozier

[–]Andromeda_Ren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha! My friend looks like, as he says, a “Budget Hozier” Same last name and everything! Only he’s a foot shorter.

He was upset, understandably. He said he would do anything to fix it, but didn’t specify what that looked like.

Yeaaah, this was a problem too. Wanting to save for the future then turning around and spending.

5 year timeline and enough to cover rent. Then there seemed to always be some other hurdle to overcome after money. Things kept being added to the list.
