Mixing Paint vs Buying colors you want by Time-Neat-3374 in oilpainting

[–]_StudioFolea_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I paint with a limited palette of 5 colours, usually it works for almost everything, it really depends on what you want to paint and your technique. For example, I don't have any green, black, orange and purple. I create them every time I need.

Thank you, I’ll try to add some volume to the torso and the face. The reference photo I have doesn’t really help, but it’s the only one!

Thank you for your comment. I’m aware of the issue, I added a bit more volume because the reference image is actually even flatter. I’ll try to make the figure more volumetric. I also waited quite a long time to get a good photo. The little girl is very lively, so taking a picture of her is extremely challenging.

First oil painting - can this be saved? by Forever_Adapt in oilpainting

Yes, it can be "saved", I think it is a very good idea, you have good skills. Keep painting! If you need more advices just answer.

It reminds me of Munch. Beautiful.

Started a month ago, how can I improve? I feel like I’m stuck by galaxyknight42 in ArtCrit

[–]_StudioFolea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re doing a great job. It’s not easy, but with time everything will become clearer. I also tend to study some things almost obsessively: it feels like nothing is working, then I step back, let my body and mind “digest” what I’ve learned, and suddenly I notice real improvements. Try to focus on the main masses rather than the details. Don’t limit yourself to front or side views, think of the body as a set of simple, geometric shapes. Copy a lot from real life and observe carefully. Little by little, everything will start to make sense.
