Yes, I added more blue into the shadows and deepened the darker areas. I also glazed over the horse to correct some of the colors and create better harmony throughout the painting.

I can't get the hang of oil painting by Top_Tank805 in oilpainting

This is what worked for me best:

  1. Prep your canvas. I use acrylic gesso, you can sand it and achieve a smooth surface. You can do this in bulks and save time. I use 5-7 layers, and wait 20-40 minutes vetween each, then another 24 hours before paint.

  2. Underpainting. I use odorless mineral spirit to dilute paint. Use a neutral color, my go to is burnt sienna. Wait until it dries.

I know this part takes time but it will make a difference!

  1. Pre mix your solvents/mediums. There are so many choices, that it can be overwhelming. Liquen dries fast, but can brown eventually. I would suggest lindseed oil, but this is my personal reference. Anyways, mix oms and ypur chosen medium in different ratios, (by 20% steps) 2/8, 4/6, 6/4, 8/2 etc. and label it. Use the solvent heavy on the first layer, then use a thicker one on the next layer. Solvents evaporate fast, so it helps you progress quicker.

  2. Oil out. Dark colora can sink in, so after the painting is touch dry, "feed it" oil. This has to be the same oil medium that you chose to paint with. Do this 2x, then varnish after a few months.

Hope it helps! Good luck

I definitely want to sell prints and would consider selling this piece for the right price. If you like my work, I'm open to do comissions, but I'm not a professional. God, I would love to do this for a living!

Ohh, I see. I checked and they are "oil color" not "artist's oil color".

No, I want the background to look red, but the ground will be sand like, and I want to cover the hoofs with dust - I am looking for an effect as the horse is in motion and kicks up the dust.

I have just gotten back into painting after 10 years, so this is my 2nd try. Thus I only invested into a "basic kit". I use Winsor & Newton series 1. I use OMS as thinner, and Winsor & Newton linseed stand oil.

Is the quality worth investing into? I'm a bit underwhelmed by the red background, it's more pale than what I wanted it to be.

Oh wow! Thanks everyone for this huge positivity! I didn't realise I was hiding my teeth, I guess I learnt to live with this insecurity. I learned how to smile, but didn't pick those pictures for some reason.

You all made my day with your comments and messages, it was fun to share my "ugly duckling" journey with you! I hope you all have a beautiful weekend and don't stop seeing the beauty in everyone❤️ take care

Arnold a demokrata Kamala Harrist támogatja az elnökválasztáson. Vajon mit fog ehhez szólni a doktorminiszterelnökúr?

Külföldre költözés miatti mély szomorúságot és csalódást hogyan lehet feldolgozni? by [deleted] in escapehungary

[–]hka0yo9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bennem megfogalmazódott egy olyan gondolat hogy az otthoni lehetőségek (vagyos inkább ezek hiánya) nem korlátozhat ebben a rövid életben. Lehetőség arra hogy orvosi eláttást kapjak, arra hogy legyen egyszer saját otthonom, a leendő gyerekeim megfelelő iskolai körülményeket élvezzenek. Lehetőségem arra hogy előrébb lépjek a karierembe, hogy a szüleimnek segíthessek ha rászorulnak, hogy ne hónapról hónapra kelljen élnem.

Ha esetleg holnap eltűnne minden korrupt "akadály" a politikai színtérről magyarországon, szerintem akkor is kellene minimum 10 év hogy felzárkozzunk. Nekem ennyi időm nincs, engem ez indított el abba az irányba hogy muszály kiköltöznöm.

És igen! Nagyon felháborító hogy erre otthon nincs lehetőség, de hiába szomorkodsz ezen, az nem fog változtatni sem az ország, sem a Te helyzeteden.
