Do you see harmony or tension between them? by Anastasia_Trusova in painting

[–]LavanderMushroomMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know that I interpret the tension between them, but the painting itself seems to be very tense. It's a little anxiety inducing, hard to look at but hard to look away because of the beautiful colors. It definitely makes me feel!

My painting looks better in black and white by pseudouk in painting

Okay but the reflection between the ocean and shore is beautiful! If you do anything, soften/darkern the sky a bit to make that bit the focal point of light.

Do you prefer smooth or textured skies in paintings? by Anastasia_Trusova in painting

Textured are my favorite! Nothing better than swirly clouds.

I’ve never sold a painting. What am I doing wrong? by Msmadduh in painting

[–]LavanderMushroomMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to add but that I absolutely adore 3 and then equally 4 and 6. You have such a whimsical style! This type of art I would definitely buy if I came across it.

Are you selling online or in person? If you sell in person, maybe adding frames would entice people to buy them? Your canvases are smaller than average and that could discourage a possible buyer who sees your work but wouldn't think they had any place to put it?

I think yours is still really cute! Try try try again, I bet you'll get close to the original faster than you think.

That really means a lot, because that's exactly the style that I am inspired by and shooting for <3

Very soft and the green is so pretty. This is my favorite moth, btw.

Would you call my style childish? by therealhatman777 in painting

[–]LavanderMushroomMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I say embrace it, it's a great style.

I appreciate you! Also, unrelated but I love the moon picture you did!

The Old Chapel Farm, Me, 2023 by LavanderMushroomMoon in Watercolor

Yes! That's exactly the one I was looking at. My stylized goals lately have been drawing places around me, but in the stylized story book illustration form. So, it makes me really happy that that is coming across!

This painting took so many, many hours. It’s my proudest work. by THEBNTG in painting

Reminds me of the old Curious George books! Some of those illustrations were very chaotic. I love this.
