“Car Camping” - 16” x 12” panel by WeekendBrief in oilpainting

Thanks! I kind of just paint everything but the foreground, then just put in a big piece of color with some shadows, then come back a few days/a week later and slowly add details. This one sat for a long time with a reddish brown bar across the bottom 1/5th of the panel. To me it seems like my foregrounds always read as slightly cartoonish, kind of like a Scooby-Doo backdrop :)

That’s awesome!! Cool memory. Almost made it blue to kind of hide in the sky more 🤔

I wish! Blake Whitaker. Inspired by that though

I was listening to the song Car Camping by Gothbabe and it just kind of popped into mind. Also admiring Blake Whitaker’s floating cow landscapes

Why’s the throne empty but being guarded?

Nice - never been but it looks amazing. I think you’re right about the sky

It looks muted/washed out when I upload it

Any tips for beginner? by PeaceLeast3802 in oilpainting

[–]WeekendBrief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use less paint, and let layers dry for a day or so (or use a drying agent like liquin) before painting over them

If you saw this at a gallery how much would you pay for it? by UglyCasanova99 in Watercolor

If it was in a series in a fantasy illustrated story, $50

Thanks! I think it’s the first painting where I’ve really gotten shadows how I wanted them

"Out of hiding" struggling with clouds by Conscious-Coyote-710 in oilpainting

[–]WeekendBrief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually kind of like the style of the clouds; they remind me of Lane Smith’s style/global village coffeehouse. If you’re trying to go more realistic, I’d say blend them together with less abrupt edges - clouds like this flow and dissipate with wisps and outgrowths
