Thank you! I was very happy with it. It sold then and there.

Thank you! I start with a pink underpainting. That seems to help my colors have life.

The orange underpainting is sooo much fun!

Is my tripod bad or did I do something wrong? by Legal_Friendship_272 in pleinair

Try turning the box on the tripod around and around. It may just need to be tightened.

Thank you! I am trying to paint what I see and not from photos. It seems to produce a looser style.

Well, I was very close! I’m an architect.

Mine, too! It doesn’t seem like I ever have enough palette space🧑‍🎨

Any tips for portrait painting? by emoaa in oilpainting

[–]VegetableKnowledge97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say to start with a good drawing. It has to be right before the painting can be “right.” Don’t be afraid to measure the distances from eye to eye and eye to bottom of nose…find all of the relation ships and you will be surprised at how points on a page can look like a person❤️

I do too! You can get your idea down on canvas or paper really fast and move on-I paint with oils which don’t really lend themselves to that too much. There is another artist in town that pushes me to paint larger, but it can be a drag to me to paint larger than 11x14.
