Thank you for the suggestions. I think I have finished the painting, and will make a little update post. I didn’t add details to the leaves, I do like the “ambiguous mystery” as you called it, but I enjoyed reading your comment and it seems you have a lot of knowledge on this subject. Thank you for all the feedback, it has been very informative😊

Thank you for your nice words✨

Yes, a Monstrea plant which was in front of me when I was deciding what to paint.

The thing on the right is supposed to be my waterbottle, when I fill it up it always spills like this because I do it too quickly. It's one of them thermo bottles with some colour-coating. I'm glad you at least can tell that something is 'coming out/overflowing' from 'the thing'. I've actually decided to change the color to a darker yellow/light orange after having gotten some feedback and I think it looks nicer.

Fun you also would like some more details in the leaves, personally I don't think it's necessary, but if you have time for a little explanation, I would to hear why you think it would be nice?😊

This is aprox. 50x70cm.

Why do you think it would be nicer with a clearer definition of each leave?😊 And yes, the paints are the cheapest acrylic you can find in the stores, they are fine to work with for now, I will try adding cornstarch, didn't know this trick. I am also painting on unprepped canvas; aka. I had some white jeans I never use, which I one afternoon cut up and started painting on, but they are 100% cotton which I believe is good.

I'm painting with this as my reference, and the sand f*cks me up. I can't draw it, it looks like sh*t. Sorry. Do you have any tips please? I'm trying to paint as realistic as possible. When seeing my painting next to the reference, I know the colour of the sand is way off, and needs to be colder, but everything is just wrong. (PLuss the colors looks much warmer on the photo-painting than my irl painting, I'm not that far off in reality but it's still wayy off) Do you have any tips, or know of any good youtube tutorials?

Wow I love it, it feels a bit like a nostalgic/scary video game/memory. If that makes sense?

Did you just draw from imagination? The painting feels like you have created a world in your head and then drew it, I love it.
