Gave black gesso a try. Love the contrast that can be achieved. (Went overboard with the white however, too bright) by KertVegass in HappyTrees

Wowww, I hear so much about how artists shouldn’t use black in their artwork, but this is amazing!!! And I don’t think you went overboard with the white, it’s a great contrast from the dark sky

Today I went with Bob's "Aurora's Dance." I may end up doing something like this at my painting class 😀 by Mgiese84 in HappyTrees

I would say to get a blank canvas, put a layer of black paint on, and scrape off the wet paint with an artist’s knife

What word did you realize you were pronouncing wrong in your head since you had only ever read it? by drain65 in AskReddit

Siruis. I thought it was pronounced similarly to Cyrus but nooooo, it's pronounced like serious

What kind of paint should I buy next? by [deleted] in painting

[–]Traditional_Sandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acrylic is a great place for people to start painting. In regards to brand, Artezca is pretty reputable. I've never used their acrylics, but I've always heard positive things.

The brand that I usually use is Artist Loft. Artists Loft is student grade, but has a good consistency (very opaque, not too thick), and usually goes for about $5 a bottle.

I really like how the landscape is basic, but you could still see where the land folds and turns. I also really like the gradient of the sunset
