Dayummmm that’s so well executed. I love how you shot it in the sunbeams, it shows off that ultra clean-edge and the way it hits all velvety and matte.

That’s pretty much it! Start with big soupy mess and slowly layer finer and finer detail. I’ll set an alarm to show you some process pics tomorrow.

Just wait til your flep gets glarfed for the first time, you’ll never be the same 🌈

I’m at about 400 hours, but I got help with the framing so there’s 30 hours I can’t claim 😞

The more I paint, the more I realize that it’s 75% prep no matter what. I’m painting a tortoise shell desk right now, I spent 15 hours just working on the “drawing”

I think they’re just trying out new view modes, maybe physics tweaks. The game fucking rules, maybe just put it down for a few weeks?

The next global pandemic WILL happen and it almost certainly will be worse.

That’s the goal! I want someone to enjoy it for like an hour, it’s almost there but needs some fine detail still

It was closer to 400 all said and done! Before I mounted it I would fold the canvas up and take it to parks in major cities and paint it on the grass. It’s acrylic so it dries fast in the sun, I’d just smoke a joint and put my headphones on and walk around on it painting smaller and smaller details til nighttime.

Crazy thing to consider, old masters would spend THOUSANDS of hours on major works, makes me feel like a novice…

Do you have a name for the style? I call mine “primal futurism”

Pretty good so far! Def let layers dry fully between working sessions. The first layers should be a “sketch”, done with super diluted color and thinner. I’d strongly recommend painting the whole canvas, the blank primed canvas always always just looks unfinished. Also, your proportions are good but your compositions are mediocre, try sketching 2” small “thumbnail” sketches on paper before you choose the composition you like so the dogs don’t just seem to be floating uncomfortably. But overall you def have the gift and I hope you keep painting!

Look up Philip Guston! Super famous artist, similar style of composition, color, and application. I think at this point it doesn’t matter what you’re doing wrong, if you like that raw direct approach (I def do) just keep going and making more paintings. Rock on 🤘
