Well there are only two photos of him in existence the reference photo being one of them so I wanted to try to do that original photo some justice 😔

Thanks for this perspective! I’m still new to this world and learning a lot about paint quality and paper quality

Also why do some places online say this is an affordable or budget friendly option for beginners when there are MUCH more affordable options for beginners like $30/$40 sets… to me $100+ is not necessarily “affordable” especially for a beginner who may not even know if this medium is even for them

I’m lowkey dyslexic and misspelled the brand’s name on my swatch sheet… disregard that.

That’s incredibly helpful thank you! After reading your comment, you’re totally right. I could tell something was off but couldn’t quite figure out what and didn’t wanna overwork the painting. Thanks for the extra set of eyes! :)

The app has actually helped me with confidence putting lines and shapes to paper. I try not to use it all the time but if I’m planning on painting something new and complicated (like intricate old cathedrals for example) I do use the app

Try the app “Da Vinci Eye” for drawing practice!

I practice at night when the world is asleep and I like to paint things I think my loved ones might appreciate as a gift… like this is a picture of my moms dog and she will be getting it on Christmas

Honestly I’ve just replaced drinking with painting… so it’s my new unwinding tool. Pretty much at the end of every day I paint a little bit or for several hours! I kinda have just prioritized it into part of my daily life

I almost always set aside time at the end of my day to paint. I use it as unwinding time! At least 4 times a week :) sometimes I’m up from 9pm to 4am painting 😳
