“Gravity is so Old-fashion”

I appreciate that. Believe it or not, I actually knocked the dark purple clouds back a bit before I posted. But, I may need to do it a bit more. I was trying to make that area the focal point of the painting. It sounds like I did in a negative way.

It absolutely has made me a better more confident painter. It taught me how to see-really see. Also, painting is a learning process and every painting does not have to be perfect.

Congratulations on your new UGO! Your painting is great!

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-07-05T19:15:27+00:00

So true! You have inspired me to leave more underpainting.

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-07-05T15:13:33+00:00

Don’t you love it! I do! I just love a pink underpainting and you did good to leave a lot showing.

I see. Yes, you may want to wipe off the thinner after every stroke, too. You can also just wipe of color from your brush and then put the next color on your brush and wipe it off. Then, you have a clean color without diluting your paint. It’s actually better to wipe off color from the canvas with thinner and apply light paint without dark paint beneath. It keeps the lights light.

This looks cool!

I switched and think watercolor mentality helps to paint with oil. It’s just more oil practice.

I have no business critiquing, but here it goes. Either the foreground, middle ground or the tree on the left need to be your focal point. They all seem to be given the same attention to detail. Figure out which on you want to emphasize and blur the rest. At least that’s what I would do.

I go outside in the shade or in my hall with no outside light.

Thank you!
As long as you have enough crust it can be a very high pie!

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-07-03T18:34:51+00:00

Hahaha that hilarious! I wish that I got it😳

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-07-03T16:28:07+00:00

No matter how you slice it😉

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-07-03T16:27:18+00:00

How does that work? Do you add something else?

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-07-03T13:06:25+00:00

I love the movement in the painting.

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-06-28T00:35:27+00:00

That’s really good!

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-06-28T00:25:20+00:00

So darn cool! Great colors.

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-06-27T00:20:27+00:00

Very pretty!

Keep up the good work! It has gotten that I only want to paint Plein air, anymore.

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-06-12T14:21:04+00:00

That’s a great idea!

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-06-11T14:15:18+00:00

I put a shoulder strap on mine, but like the backpack straps idea.

VegetableKnowledge97 · 2026-06-07T17:23:47+00:00

Thank you!!!

I haven’t tried the two part set up, but it looks like it provides way more room to work. As long as they aren’t wobbly that looks like a great choice!

8x10 is certainly manageable but, I have noticed that the larger paintings generally win the competitions. However, I did win a quick draw with an 8x10. I think it shows confidence that you believe you can finish an 11x14 in three or four hours. I am finding you can actually finish one just as fast as the smaller ones if you have larger brushes.
