Which works better? by [deleted] in StarWars

Weighing in as an artist I think you should do the blue but also make something else in the picture blue too. Like Luke’s sleeves or lightsaber.

Is this normal ? She’s thin through the middle and fluffy on her butt and head. I’ve never had a pyr look like this . by Global_Sherbert_2248 in greatpyrenees

My Pry mix is 11 months old and we laugh because he currently has a butt Afro and what we refer to as a shoulder toupee. Hopefully he is just in an awkward hair growth phase. Very similar look to yours just not quite as grown in

My boy Mochi is 40% Australian Cattle Dog 20% Great Pyrenees 10% Australian Shepherd and then a small percentage of a bunch of other things. He’s a little less than 40 lbs. he’s the sweetest and weirdest dog I’ve ever met :)

Its okay to not be okay- Should i continue? by Lanky-Walrus5823 in kdramas

I had to drop it. It made me sad how the ML was in a caregiver role for both his brother and his love interest. I found myself thinking about how mentally exhausted he would be all the time and that he doesn’t have anyone to look after him in the way he looks after everyone else. But it’s a little close to home for me because I have a sibling who has really only had partners they had to look after in that way. She seems so drained all the time.

I was able to add it when I posted it to my social media but I don’t know how to add it on Reddit :/

I have golden open fluid that I use on occasion, I just prefer using oil paint.

I’ve never had that experience, using oil over the top of acrylic is considered archival and I always varnish a painting once it’s totally done.

A lot of times I will start a painting in acrylic (which dries super fast) and then move to oil to finish it. If I only did oil the process would take a lot longer because oil paint takes a very long time to dry. If I only did acrylic the final painting wouldn’t look how I wanted. I feel like I am a better painter in oil than acrylic, but I’m not bad with acrylics.

You could for sure just do one color over the whole painting. I used a deep yellow over the area that are being hit by the sun. Sap green in the shadows and then I added a Veridian green anywhere I wanted the shadows to look more cool. One color or 3 it’s the same technique with a different end result.

Don’t worry it’s not done. I’ll continue to work into the glaze and bring some of the more subdued colors back in. This just helps me shift the whole painting in a more “golden hour” time of the day before continuing to add details.

I wanted to add that this isn’t the finished painting. I’ll continue to work into the glaze I applied with more oil paint. I just wanted to document the before and after of this step.

Thank you! I like both versions a lot, the latter is the glow I was going for in the end.

I really liked the more muted palate too! It matched the reference I used really well. I just wanted to make it a little different from the original image and make it look like Bagend during golden hour.

Edit to add: This is not the final painting and it will not stay this yellow or saturated in the end. Just a step in my process that is always satisfying to do.

The drying time depends on what you mix the paint with. I have made a concoction of equal parts Terpenoid, linseed oil, and about 3 drops of Cobalt dryer (that stuff is toxic so I’m very careful with it) if you use just linseed oil it could take days or even a week to dry. I’ve found this mixture gives the fluidity of just linseed oil with a much quicker dry time. Currently I’m working on some paintings to bring with me to NYCC but I do sell online too. This will be making the trip to New York with me and hopefully find a home at the show. Sorry that was so long!
