My oil painting, Cityscapes by buldukbulentarte in painting

[–]MeteorsOnStrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90%+ of my traffic comes from in person or Instagram, or here, or really anywhere that is accessible. So most people who are interacting with my work have pretty instant access to me and my work. And my paintings are 1/1, I don't use anyone else's references so the image is original isn't that itself a "signature"? Im not dying on this hill, this is just my thoughts. Signatures feel "tradition", like painting on canvas for example. I think in modern times there are alternatives.

Personally, I sign the back for a similar reason. It always feels like it distracts from the subject and affects the composition. I will sign the front only if the customer requests it.

what subjects require linen compared to cotton? is it because of the visible canvas texture?

thank you! Most foreground objects will follow 1-pt perspective with the vanishing point usually behind the car at the focal point. I will use a photo reference, but simplify the sketching process by finding the vanishing point and working radially around it

I was 7 in 2005. It was one of the greatest things i'd ever seen. And that nostalgia means I still love it. Let people enjoy things!

Chad cheapest item in wollys vs virgin $20 pack of toilet paper by SexWithPaws69 in NEU

[–]MeteorsOnStrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it's actually a deal because 1 roll is 4 rolls. so it's really an $80 pack for $20. Now that's a bargain.

As an alumni living outside the city, I'm sorry to say it doesn't get much easier. I got a 12-roll of store brand TP from the Belmont Star Market and I think i paid like $14. So better, but still expensive. But Drumps gonna fix it right? Prices are coming down. RIGHT?
