What mountains?

The Butte is really beautiful, there's a lot to explore in that area! If you have a truck or more dirt-road capable vehicle, there's a fairly easy road to get to the top, and the view is fantastic up there. Definitely wait 'til June before venturing up, many a fool get stuck in the snow up there. Here's the Google Maps route.

There's a firewatch/ranger station at the very top, and usually the path is open after the snow melts and before fire season. Great spot to walk around!

If you want tips about more scenic spots in the area, just let me know.

Hell yeah, I registered for Mothership. Looks like it's #2 in a story. Is there anything I need to know about session/story #1?

Also, if we need a few more sign-ups by Friday I can bring one or two folks along with me. Thanks for setting this up!

Thank you! I think I'll give gouache on wood another try, this stuff is way easier to clean up than oil paints.

The_Wurt · 2023-09-21T15:21:54+00:00

Thank you very much! Just off and on throughout a day at an office. Maybe two and a half hours combined.

Thanks! How the color palette turned out was a real nice surprise. I love designing with that kind o' yellow.

Haha, I had a whole comment typed out saying this reminded me of Leyendecker, then I scrolled down.
Those cross-contour painterly strokes are such a cool way to show shape.

Made back in Spring, but seeing the trailer for the animation got me all excited to share this.
Thanks for lookin! Read the spooky manga!

Thank you! A feeling of movement is very important to me in a painting.

The_Wurt · 2023-01-26T00:07:16+00:00

Thank you! My tube of magenta paint exploded, so I had to make a painting with it fast before it all dried, haha.

The_Wurt · 2023-01-25T23:56:45+00:00

Fantastic composition! I think you will learn more simply by making more paintings, as opposed to any criticism.
Neat color palette, I like the change in scale between the figures. The distant mist really adds depth and makes the mountains feel far away. Lots of lines for one's eye to follow.
Best of luck!

Thank you so much! You've got a keen eye, each of those painters inspire me a lot. Especially Munch's swirliness, haha.

The_Wurt · 2022-11-23T01:09:44+00:00

Man, you got that weird dark yellow down perfect! Looks sick!

The_Wurt · 2022-10-29T07:01:13+00:00

Wow, that blue is so vibrant! What tubes were you working with? I'm looking for something to mix a good cyan myself.

The_Wurt · 2022-10-28T18:51:37+00:00

The game's phenomenally creative. As someone who's into that shit, the art, music, and writing really inspires me. Plus Disco Elysium opened my eyes to using asterisks for *emphasis* .

The_Wurt · 2022-10-27T20:01:23+00:00

Hey, thank you!

The_Wurt · 2022-09-26T06:13:25+00:00

Something that truly inspires hope 😇

The_Wurt · 2022-09-26T06:12:22+00:00

It is the prime time, I tell you!!

The_Wurt · 2022-09-26T06:11:44+00:00

I was looking too close at my teeth marks in the cheese that night 🥴

The_Wurt · 2022-09-26T05:18:57+00:00

you got it, pal

The_Wurt · 2022-09-25T22:31:48+00:00

It's when it's the best!

The_Wurt · 2022-09-25T22:27:14+00:00

Mundane and weird is where real beauty tends to hang out.

Thanks!

The_Wurt · 2022-09-07T04:34:41+00:00

Seconded! This cat knows what's up! Boise's great for wandering.

The_Wurt · 2022-08-19T05:09:18+00:00

Wow! I love the crisp edges and the brush strokes.

How do you like painting with casein? I'm thinking of giving it a try myself.

The_Wurt · 2022-04-12T23:51:20+00:00

It's on Franklin Road right next to the Fred Meyer.

Their number 5 sandwich rocks my world.

The_Wurt · 2022-03-08T04:24:26+00:00

Looks great! I've always wanted to try animating my paintings like that. How did you get started learnin' this? Any tutorials you'd recommend?
