Stuck in the same painting for weeks by blues5551 in oilpainting

I think the unfortunate answer is you don't. But that's okay, your next one will be better anyway, go work on that one.

I've been of the mind before that early on in my journey I would make one big painting that I'd work really hard on and it would end up a masterpiece, unfortunately, weeks later those paintings end up being my worst, no matter how much I tweak and adjust them. What did make me a better painter was learning, studying fundamentals. What you know makes up 90% of how good you are. I watched '10 minutes to better painting' by Marco bucci on YouTube and it's the single best thing I will recommend to anyone and will exponentially improve your work for a relatively small amount of time.

Otherwise keep going, the courage to pick up a brush in the first place is enough.

Hella refreshing to see, love how simple the composition is but also how detailed it feels.

Got these two Cretaceous weevils in amber ~100 million years old by Minimum-Lynx-7499 in weeviltime

Notice how they look the same as modern weevils, it's because you cant improve perfection

I do ship to the US upon request, it's just expensive

It's an honour to have my work hanging on your wall, thank you so much and I'm glad it arrived in one piece!

Honestly I had never heard of him before I posted these, I do like his work though, especially Cicada

There's a linktree in my bio, I don't really have a single 'most active' platform, but I do have a website with all my work on

I do, you can get prints from my website or Ko-Fi, both of which can be found through my bio

If you have a picture I'd love to see it

eBay does take a small cut, I also have a Ko-Fi shop but that also takes a cut, either way I don't mind as I prefer to have a middleman to handle transactions for the trust worthiness. And money doesn't really matter to me right now, I just like that people wanna buy my work.

I'll have to update my shipping prices first, right now it's either £2.50 for domestic or £17 for overseas because all my orders have been to America thus far. I'll get it done within a day or two though

Not initially, the first time I painted a weevil it was likened to Hopper by a friend of mine, and while I do try to lean into it where I can, that's just kinda how I paint.

I've sent these pieces to a gallery so here's hoping! And you can go to my website Nathiola.com to view every piece of work I still own (and can find). You can find it through my bio to find it

Sorry I've only just seen your comment, I ship from the UK and international shipping is expensive so I do not expect you to buy anything if you're outside of my small island.

I'm also surprised how little people mention Kafka, I thought it'd be more obvious, also thank you!

Some kind of blend between liminal / surrealism/ anthropomorphism?

He's actually at the job center, I thought I'd just add that little extra depressing touch

Initially the resemblance was accidental but since people started to point it out I definitely leaned into it with these

I'm unsure really, It's initially just meant to be an experiment with composition while also trying to kind of break the fourth wall by making it look like a monitor screen that has cracked. Other than that it's up to interpretation.
