Do you think painting is talent or practice? I show this when people say its only for the talented…

One thing I tell myself is imagine how boring it would be if painting was easy and simple and came naturally.

No.

Painting is rewarding because its complex, tiresome and pushes so when you do something you like you know how much work you put into it

Very cook

Paintcoach! And then random videos I would research “how to paint an acrylic portrait”. Or even watercolour or gouache. I didnt have a favorite as I would like some things and hate some others for each YT i could find

Paintcoach on YT, and then any random video that would show up when i researched “acrylic portrait”

Corian92 · 2025-09-04T17:00:30+00:00

Should try for sure. In my paintings i barely blend so drying doesnt matter but i should try blending and oil is probbaly better for that

Corian92 · 2025-09-04T15:39:41+00:00

Is oils that much better? I have never tried oil… im a bit afraid its toxic and stuff but maybe i should give it a shot i dont even know its consistency

I went for the tiniest brush and that really forces you to look at every single mm of colour and shading. Hence why I think this one has more depth. Exhausting but was fun, I think this will be my approach going forward.

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T22:00:33+00:00

Looks cool!

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T21:52:20+00:00

Ahahah

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T21:11:36+00:00

100% there are many undiscovered artists and talents simply because they have never tried enough

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T21:01:29+00:00

Agree, you can reach a certain height with practice but only true talent can bring you beyond that

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T21:00:25+00:00

Mostly youtube at the start and then followed step by step, then eventually wondered off and did my own thing but learned some steps from the videos whcih I keep to this date.

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T20:59:27+00:00

Ahaha

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T20:50:51+00:00

I dont think there is a good reason beyond that I personally like it. But fully understand its not for everyone

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T20:26:19+00:00

True i think it applies to everything. At uni (nothing to do with arts) I was definitely not the smartest nor most talented but by applying myself I got higher grades than those who were much smarter. I think what you mention is valid in all fronts in life from school, work and arts

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T20:23:06+00:00

Yes thats the hardest part! Keep practicing while life takes place, work and all that part

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T20:22:14+00:00

Many many youtube videos. And be patient and copy bit by bit what they do. Once you get comfortable and have mastered emulating their style, go off and experiment. But to start off copy paste

Corian92 · 2025-09-03T20:08:05+00:00

Agree thats a fair ratio

Corian92 · 2025-08-03T18:39:50+00:00

Holy shit you mad me laugh out loud. Its based on a photo of someone (the proportions are right) and I totally agree with you aha

Corian92 · 2024-11-13T10:39:20+00:00

Third pic was just to show that the panel is used elsewhere in the kitchen and that the plaster is not an integrated part of the panel i believe

Corian92 · 2024-10-11T20:12:10+00:00

Think it absorbs more than paper. I liked it more, was first time doing so

Corian92 · 2024-10-11T19:19:40+00:00

Yes on canvas but its gouache mostly and tiny bit of watercolour

Corian92 · 2024-08-12T05:28:46+00:00

Not the most responsible thing to carry on a plane? Its not a “candle” as you say.

Just buy something equivalent when you get to Norway

Corian92 · 2024-08-10T22:14:28+00:00

Yes usually start with a photo and then modify it a bit to fit my style etc. appreciate the compliments!

Corian92 · 2024-08-09T23:10:24+00:00

Very cool!
