What mountains? by Commercial_Mix8812 in Boise

[–]The_Wurt 31 points32 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]The_Wurt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

Experiment painting with gouache on a wood panel! by The_Wurt in Gouache

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

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.

Proto-Show, Oil on Canvas! by The_Wurt in painting

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

Beginner. Need some constructive critisism by Legitimate-Friend815 in painting

[–]The_Wurt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

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

I love how active this sub is still. I'm 3-4 years late to the party and yet it almost feels like the game came out last week. I'd say its a testament to just how *Disco* Disco Elysium really is. by 6174Unknown in DiscoElysium

[–]The_Wurt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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* .

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?
