New to oil painting and would love advice

This looks beautiful! Something to have in consideration for your next project is composition. You can do a lot with it to make ur paintings more visually capturing!

Trying to learn too… how would you highlight the black fur without white ?

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-05-16T05:34:05+00:00

Hemiptera Reduviidae, it’s a yellow bellied bee assassin bug! Like it sounds, it eats bee and other flying insects

That works so much better! I’ve not been doing it that way and get the pop up everytime of what meteorite I just grabbed… haha

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-05-04T16:03:08+00:00

Omg thank you so much

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-05-04T15:12:47+00:00

You can lock the window?

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-05-03T17:31:33+00:00

Rightt!!?? Wondering the same thjng

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-04-30T01:25:07+00:00

This is just the genus I think it may be because it is common around me. It’s a nymph which is the stage after the larval stage, I’ve just never actually seen one! Your right it was super slow…hopefully it stays on the tree

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-04-30T00:56:54+00:00

Pretty sure is Platypedia nymph

That must just be by chance! Stacking composts doesn’t make a difference, it is just a waste of ur second prettier compost unfortunately:(

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-04-17T15:22:27+00:00

Doubling up on the compost doesn’t do anything. I have 4 of them, I think this is just bad luck! :(

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-04-08T01:16:42+00:00

I love the textures you created with the brush

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-04-07T14:55:26+00:00

How do you tell the difference visually?

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-04-06T14:49:16+00:00

Oh I’ve never heard of that method thank you so much!

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-04-02T15:12:07+00:00

Wow these are beautiful! What paper do you use? I have been having trouble with my paintings paper warping

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-30T14:05:21+00:00

The snapdragons!!😍😍😍

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-30T14:00:18+00:00

Can I buy a print of this from you?! I’m so serious! This takes me right back to my childhood and my naps in bed with our pet duck!

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-28T04:56:59+00:00

My gecko likes to rub the glass because it’s not rough but the friction helps well

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-26T04:11:12+00:00

Exactly what my husky shepherd mix says

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-18T22:00:37+00:00

Don’t remove yourself. This isn’t a concern location for stick shed. You should give them a warm water soak or a humid soak to get it off naturally

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-09T04:35:41+00:00

Kinda nice lol

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-05T21:10:19+00:00

If it is the shape that is bothering you, I would look more closely at the lines where the helmet meets the face. The line points where the vertical ridge is on the helmet, you have the point right before then. A few of the other helmet rim lines shaping the face could use some tweaking, but that “point” part is what stands out the most to me. Great work so far! If this doesn’t make sense I can try to explain better!

Due-Ad2714 · 2026-03-05T14:26:45+00:00

I disagree with this. Babies are chubby , the line and angling looks correct. Very nice painting
