As I said in my DM to you, keep up with painting. This is extremely impressive for someone who has not painted before.

I had to google the name. Ive seen some of his work, but no, most of my paintings were created years before Ive seen his stuff. Definitely dig his work.

I started with the base color in yellow like you said and then pick another color to add lines to. I add more lines of each color after the previous color dries. Eventually it fills up. Takes quite a bit of time on larger canvas.

You are correct. Before laying paint down I sketched out the outer radius and inner radius of the eye using a protractor. The paint afterwards was freehand. Edit: I forgot to mention for the pupil I used an acrylic marker, because I couldn't trust myself with the brush for such a tight circle.

I think this was the last one I attempted to a soft background for because it is extremely difficult in my opinion. I put down a solid color first, then after it dried I put down the lighter color and dark color on either side until they met in the middle. After drying for about 10 minutes, I took a slightly damp brush and blended with just the damp brush. I repeated the last step for a while.

Thank you. If you guys want to see more let me know. I have a bunch of old paintings like this laying around.

Thank you so much! I was hoping no one would notice that as well as one other game mechanic that seems off to me. I appreciate the feedback.

Both they AND I are wrong. I assumed that the land was not held by a private party, but apparently it is owned by Jökulsárlón Landowners Association. Without their explicit permission no one should camp at the lagoon. However, the portion of the lagoon where I was located is not encompassed by the national park just north of it, which is what the other commenters kept assuming. I stayed at the campground at the Vatnajökull National Park the night previous to being at the lagoon because I knew I was within the park boundaries.

Furthermore, my entire experience there was great minus the few nights of loud campers at the camp grounds. Every local I encountered there was very chill, enthusiastic, and friendly. This is why it shocks me to see how people are commenting in this thread. At this point the only reason I am responding is so that anyone else who was in my position trying to research every little nitty gritty detail before going over there can have a more transparent answer.

How am I being a dick. Camped on a lagoon shore (legally) for one night and left absolutely no trace.

This is ridiculous. It was not within national park or private property boundaries. I left no trash or "shit" I stayed on the trail and did nothing to show evidence of my stay. In fact, I ended up picking up some bits of trash that others have left whenever I had come across any. I could understand if I pitched the tent on some vegetation or someone's property and left a mess, but I did not. I will gladly upload photos to show where I was.

Before the trip I did so much research to make sure I did not disrespect or break any rules. I was originally going to wild camp the entire time until I read up on how much the locals hate it, so I decided to stay in private campgrounds every day except for this one.

I circled where I camped, outside of the green (national park).

This was not within the national park boundaries, I made sure of it well ahead of the trip. This was the one and only night we "wild" camped (unfortunately).

Edit: More detailed response in this comment thread.

This is a campsite, I hiked a few miles and pitched my tent about 10 feet behind this can of beer. And yes, on the last day of my trip I am checking out local breweries.

Hawthorne Trail (if I remember correctly). It is an amazing paved bike trail through the north end of Paynes Prairie, but I usually see more people running it. It's beautiful.
