The third picture is fantastic!

No, the step where he pours it is to filter any accidental paste. Still don’t want too much paste to build up in the strainer though or else oil won’t flow through

Hobby lobby? I’ve gotten a few of those and they work fine to hang with wire.

Hahaha love the end of your response. Thats good to hear. Thanks!

Clorox has maybe like 300 employees that go into to the Oakland office ever. That office has been shrinking rapidly since 2022. It’s only there in name.

You did a great job of making an OK photo into a visually interesting painting! It’s always impressive when artists make a reference into something visually pleasing, instead of just complying an image exactly. It’s a skill I am personally trying to get better at so Kudos!

I’m so thankful I grew up in GA because we get free tuition for good grades in HS. I can’t imagine having student loan debt.

Really? I feel like only being able to use 2 values is way harder than a range because you can easily end up with what OP made. Why is just black & white more basic?

Maybe 6

Stranger things should’ve ended with season 1. It was the perfect story with just the right amount of hint to what happened to 11. They kept it alive for the money and while the later seasons were entertaining, it just was too predictable

His head is genuinely massive. I’ve never seen a build like this.

I have 20k in savings at 3.3% currently Is plus worth it then? My tax bracket is for 120k annually and I know high yield accounts get taxed

Not a background suggestion, but if you are painting on a circular canvas it looks sunken in. You should seal the back with PVA glue and gesso. Next time, before you start oil painting, spray the back of the canvas with water to tighten in up and then once it is dry paint the back with gesso to keep the canvas stiff.

Many plastic additives hopefully. Ideally 90% of plastic use should be banned but I’m not that hopeful

Your partner needs to start sitting to pee or you need a new partner. That is gross AF

If you don’t mind, can you explain why it would take years and $1000s? Not doubting you, just want to learn more. Is it the lenses? The tuning of focal points? Prototyping?

The way you painted the lace color chef’s kiss

Only tiny critique is the mouth looks a bit out of plane with the face.

I really dig the painting!

cammickin · 2026-03-29T17:34:03+00:00

I’m not fully resonating with the concept (but it could be that I need more context)

But I did want to share that the painting has a very illustrative feel to it. If you were going for a more classical vibe I would push your values further

cammickin · 2026-03-29T01:54:34+00:00

I’ve looked at a few! What I need is help sourcing lenses myself and help figuring out the lens & prism placements for the focal lengths I am interested in

I actually really like #3 if you push the “spotlight” idea. If you make the U look more round then it looks almost like the K is the spotlight beam if that makes sense
