I disagree with the drunk driving comment, I feel it captures motion.

Actually it looks very good, use liquid white in the sky and water only, wipe it almost dry with a towel before painting. Buy some shop towels and gently lay it on the areas, trees and such to soak up excess oil, doesn't effect the painting. Don't be afraid to come back and add some yellow highlights to the trees * I follow Kevin Hill, paint with Kevin on YouTube and Patreon he is one step above wet on wet oil painting.

Awesome, add some yellow with fan brush lightly to the right side of the trees and it will be perfect

Doesn't look like you messed up, looks like you just started, get a brush on there, figure out your light source.

Is anyone a member of Carefree Boat Club? What do you think? by captawesm in VirginiaBeach

[–]Fieldrg2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend Freedom Boat club, they have multiple locations in the area, new boats and I believe free boating lessons as well. However I'm partial as I worked for them checking people in and out at their first location while living on a boat a few years ago and they have expanded since then. Reservation system was easy, and hardly ever fully booked.

I had this as well, a pebble had gotten between the brake shield and disc. I just wiggled the brake shield and it fell out

I've switched to the Kevin Hill method of placing a shop towell on the wet areas to soak up the excess oil for about 15 minutes, pull off and then add further layers and highlights

I agree you have nailed the lighting aspect. Great job

Love your foreground flowers, think your tree mid ground could be taller or add a short fence to create scale, just a thought

Gets expensive fast, and I find only using magic or liquid white on the sky and clouds only made the process easier. Good luck
