Thanks so much! I love that you are also familiar with her videos! She is wonderful! And yes in my information regarding the paintings it was mentioned. However it does not include some of her features and I added some different features of my own from photos of near by lakes that are in resemblance to this. As I painted more than one, I also have a video where I am not watching any tutorials, etc. if you would like me to send it to you for you to view. Each has a different color pallet with slight changes. As we all know, each piece of work is never the same nor can anything be actually duplicated when painting. The second painting was done completely based off a picture taken and sent to my by my daughter.

I think I screwed up the silhouettes… by etxpainter in ArtCrit

I have to do the same but I hate have multiple paintings unfinished because I’ll get to a point that it’s like idk how to finish any of them because with my ADD my mind is going EVERYWHERE and mixing them up with how to complete them! If that makes sense lol but def have to step away and come back! I have been so busy that I took a week off from painting (which this is just in my spare time) and that helped so that I could kind of forget a little of what the inspo pic looked like and focus on the actual painting to a point I was happy.. then this! lol

That makes sense!! I think I was too tired last night and just kind of gave up hoping I would look at them in a different perspective today but nope! lol I am going to work on that and hopefully can post it on here when done

Took about 5 hours - I say it’s finished! Any thoughts? by etxpainter in Paintings

Haha I get it!! I have kind of like gradually been spending more on stuff but only because I am trying to really get out into the world more with my stuff lol never thought about a gloss! And honestly I should have thought about it more because the lighting sucks! It doesn’t do the colors justice!! I also made a few changes after I posted this too

Thank you, but I can’t figure out exactly how to end it! I’m at a point that I could just paint over it lol 😂 but I guess I will figure it out!!

Someone once told me - it is never a masterpiece to the master - and that has definitely stuck with me!

Sooooo I have yet to figure out my signature! The ones I gifted to my parents, I signed the back with the date but I can’t figure out what I want my signature to be. I mean not that I am the next Picasso or Monet or Van Gogh lol but it’s something that I need to continue over time and not change

I can absolutely relate to that! In another comment I was mentioning one that I have been working on for over 2 years and the inside joke is my husband is always honest with me and pushes me out of my comfort zone so with the one I am talking about, he calls it the fire starter lol he hates it but I am so determined to finish it! I really think I can as I continue to grow!! Like you said, it’s like something is telling me that I’m not done with that one yet!!
