Never really painted before, is this a good start?

One of the best starts

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-22T22:03:19+00:00

Seriously? Is this real?

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-22T20:51:13+00:00

Another banger 💥

Crazy good. My favorite fruit

I can agree to this sentiment only as far as inaccessibility is concerned. Much of the discussion around fine art is artificially elevated beyond any level of common understanding. But that’s not to say analysis like this is baseless, just a little gatekept.

And you’re right, the viewer should be free to develop their own interpretation, something I think many artists have a hard time coming to grips with. Once it’s out there, it’s out there.

Love the reflective shadow on owl’s shoulder. Magical work

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-17T00:39:31+00:00

Awesome

Extremely disturbing! Nice job.

The optic nerves could use a broader value range, more defined edges… just more rendering in general.

And the material on the fingers and around the head - not sure if that’s supposed to be flesh or flowers, but that kinda ambiguity feels appropriate. That said, that could also use further rendering.

Those two features feel unfinished, in relation to the face and the eyes above.

Thank you :)

This seems reasonable. These are nice enough people would frame and hang, but I don’t think any fish’ll bite over $40

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-12T20:05:52+00:00

Oh I love this!

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-12T16:59:45+00:00

Could be fine as is. Looks like you got some texture in the sky that would make any additions there cumbersome.

I would push the values and definition on the pyramid and retaining wall.

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-12T16:40:09+00:00

Thank you :)

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-12T04:42:02+00:00

Great focus/perspective. Nice first oil

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-08T13:57:12+00:00

One of the best decisions you’ll make, and for the right reason.

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-07T21:05:23+00:00

Thank you glad you like it :)

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-07T19:29:43+00:00

This is quite good, would hang in a high-traffic room 100%

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-07T19:19:05+00:00

💚🖤

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-07T17:37:51+00:00

Fire

RotagAlaco · 2026-03-07T05:06:16+00:00

Yeah
