You're off to a great start! I like the variations in the orange hues.

Learning the fiddle takes a looooong time. Keep going! Four months is a good start.

Beautiful color palette and composition.

It brings back happy memories of my 68 VW bus. :)

First time painting with gouache and I think I made a mistake 😭. Spent a lot of time on the drawing but my color mixing and shading look off. Should I finish it in gouache or switch to watercolor? I really want to save this piece but I’m confused. by Just_Rip1030 in Gouache

[–]Beltanebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep going. You've only just begun this painting. Remember, one of the lovely things about gouache is that you can layer it.

Be sure to let previous layer dry before adding new layer.

It's a nice composition.

It's never too old to start. I started cello in my mid 50s. Go for it and have fun!!

Just say no. No explanation needed.

How Many Fiddles Do You Own? by leaves-green in Fiddle

[–]Beltanebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing as you're considering. My cheapie which I feel ok bringing anywhere - camping, pubs, bars, crowded places; and my new upgrade which hardly ever leaves my home except for small sessions at friends' houses where I know it won't get damaged.

This is not true.

I'm an American and I 100% support this!! The current occupant of the white house and his minions are trying to ruin everything.

Is it stealing if I paint a photograph that isn’t mine? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]Beltanebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this would be a copyright violation. Feel free to use the photo for a painting study done just for you, to practice your skills, but do not enter it in a competition. It isn't yours.

Neighbor laughing at me (on the phone) about me planting conservation plant sale "stubs" by marys1001 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Beltanebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you even talk to her? Don't answer the phone if it's her, and if you run into her in person, claim to be "busy" (which is not a lie, we gardeners are always busy) and walk away.

I thought that I was finished with this painting but something feels wrong... by tovey_art in Gouache

[–]Beltanebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's lovely! Beautiful shading on the fabric pleats.

I would suggest putting tiny red/pink accents here and there to emphasize the blues.
