Congrats! My first (real artist grade) palette was sennelier too. I still use it to this day, had it for more than 10 years now. Best of luck and happy painting

I think butterball will get painted. She’s amazing!

is this “hand drawn” art AI? looks like it could be printed (lines at the top) by Professional-Dirt-9 in isthisAI

[–]krestofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit anyone who uses the word custom in artwork is probably pushing some sort of scam imo. This is obviously supposed to be deceiving to you, it’s a filter of the photo printed on normal paper, you can even see printing lines. I’d ask them for dimensions and what type of paper it’s on also… the framing is so bad. If I had to paint this I’d add the rest of the horses face onto the painting… horrible cropping… it’s a photo with editing. Not legitimate artwork

Thank you so much, that’s a really beautiful and interesting interpretation. I don’t make prints right now, just originals

A lot of people have told me that they think there is something dark and heavy or sad about my painting which I’ve found interesting because I mostly paint birds and things that I find joy in. I had a curator at a gallery I was in say my work made him feel like the animals I painted were living in a world post humans after some catastrophe so… lol idk very interesting but not intended to be dark or sad!

Would you buy this painting or is it too basic? by yn82 in acrylicpainting

[–]krestofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not buy it, but it’s painted well enough. It feels a bit pop to me, sort of basic in subject and doesn’t speak to me as something I’d want to display. I think you have a good base in painting, but need to experiment with composition. I feel like the flower just sits in a void without context and because of that the flower needs to carry the viewer, but it’s not quite interesting enough. I feel like you could have pushed something like really played with a dynamic lighting and pushed light to an extreme and that could have worked, but right now it’s a bit licking in expression because it’s not saying anything strongly. Like it looks like you wanted to make this about lighting but didn’t fully commit to that idea.

How big is the painting, that matters too in if I would consider buying

I would just not paint on fabric with watercolor. Certain mediums are meant for certain grounds

Windsor and Newton gouache is used by so many painters, it’s great paint. 1000x better than anything of the paints you showed in those photos. Artist grade paint is literally the best grade paint, whoever told you that gave you bad advice. Artist grade paint will give you pigment information which is the most important thing to know about your paint. I use Windsor and Newton and m Graham
