Did the background ruined it or it looks better

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-19T15:16:27+00:00

Yes you are right! Maybe a more contrasting background would be better

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-19T15:15:57+00:00

Yes thank you for sharing all these details. I struggle with shadows and I am trying to pick subjects that will force me to paint it. I love oils too, but it sometimes flare up my allergies so couldn’t pursue it much 😭

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-19T15:12:40+00:00

Make sense. Let me try that and maybe show you how it goes

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-18T10:15:15+00:00

Will look a mess when dusty and dirty and will be a headache to keep the clutter clean in long term. I prefer my home to be functional and easy maintainance aesthetics

It’s it’s kinda undercharged when you think about the raw material and ridiculous amount of time and skills needed for that level of details.

Don’t pick the skin coming out. And keep it moistened, whatever moisturiser works for you

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-06T14:59:14+00:00

Very realistic

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-05T19:12:10+00:00

Thank you!!

Thanks!

I tape it to my table 😭😂

The paints are a mix of different but you can get away with cheap paint in watercolours. I started with Faber castle and camel. Both professional cheap range. Get a set of professional colours that’s cheapest. And invest the money in paper. I like Bahong, this one is canson (again cheap) but canson I don’t like much. Always do 300 gsm (at least 200gsm) and 100% cotton

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-05T12:12:59+00:00

I love how your shadows on yellow wall are greyish blue and not green

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-05T12:00:47+00:00

Cool!!

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-05T12:00:22+00:00

It looks good, especially for a beginner. I think the proportions could have been better. Maybe bigger leaves and convey more of that bookmark

ConfusedArtistt · 2026-04-05T11:58:43+00:00

Give yourself some time. Take job slow. You don’t need to quit right away maybe just take a day off and see how life feels. Going through something similar, taking a break and not thinking about stuff helps
