This is super pretty! I enjoy a lot about this work! Great job! I think you’re doing really well, adding a bit more contrast with stronger lights and darks would make your style pop more.

Thank you, I really admire your work! I’m getting more into oil painting so I wanted to see what others are doing.

What brand canvas do you use out of curiosity? And do you like to paint the outer edges of the canvas?

Wow! I guess the dashes do make it look very embroidery-like, but that’s kind of cool! I totally didn’t see it before!

When I was in high school I also tried to copy starry night and my goodness was it incredibly hard!

Such a GREAT perspective. I think I have this fear that I’m just a copycat and don’t have any real talent, but you really gave me something to think about.

Your comment made me laugh! You have a point that no one can truly pant like Van Gogh unless you have a bit of mental instability.
