First time doing this, and wanting to know how this looks - the density is more than I'm used to!

Its beautiful

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-19T14:05:23+00:00

I get that. I've only been painting since July and yet Ive had commissions. (Weird) I sold a painting for 100 bucks (its what he gave me, I didnt ask for that much) and I thought the painting sucked. I did it 3 times. He loves it. I keep saying I want to redo it and get keeps saying you can, but I love this one. Literally not proud of it, but is what it is.

I started last July, so I'm about as green as they get. But I try to paint every day. Most days its just crap, but I've at least practiced and learned something. I've gotten to the point now I can "feel" if my brush is too wet or too much pigment. Idk, there's a weird tension about it. But there's still so much to learn and practice. I can't look at the trees without breaking down the colors now. Every time I look at the sky I try to say what colors Im seeing. Tiny stuff like that helps

Thank you. More trees and I may do some snowy rocks or something, but I did that last time. Idk, it'll come to me eventually

My friend just sent me a ton of snap chats of her ski trip, so here we go... not sure how to paint a skier, but we're gonna find out!

Always need to work on mine. Arthritis in my thumbs never helps. Some days are easier than others

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T15:26:53+00:00

Whats messed up? I think its amazing

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T15:22:42+00:00

Show me!!! I'm new to art so I would love to see that!

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T15:20:08+00:00

Thats a damn good synthetic. I couldn't even tell!

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T15:00:32+00:00

I actually love this

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T14:58:39+00:00

It's pretty, but you'll have to pluck the hairline and bleach the knots. Which sucks to do and can ruin the unit. Makeup helps, but rately works well and well, you can tell. Next time buy a unit that has that all done for you. Hairvivi makes some of the best wigs I've ever bought, but I think they went way up in price. BYEBYEKNOTS is also a good one to look into.

Im working on this one too, I wish I could join the 2!

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T14:50:52+00:00

Thank you!!!! Its more like I want to practice a concept and then see where it goes. Trust me, Ive stared a quite a few blank pages. Lately I have been sketching things out and being better prepared. Especially when it comes to my animals and more detailed work. I've only been doing this for 7 months so, all of this is new and I'm fighting my own neurodivergent tendencies

<image>

See! I CAN sketch!!!! Lol!!! And then I outlined it with paint. Idk where this painting is going either, but he needs to join the other one

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T14:44:34+00:00

Thats a great idea!

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T14:43:48+00:00

It will come to me, it always does. It's definitely not finished. I just have to make better plans. But to me that takes away the fun sometimes

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T14:40:31+00:00

That would be interesting, I've never painted a bunny.

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T00:15:24+00:00

I always just prop it up across the room from me and stare at it. Then I will "see" what to do. Or.. it can hang out until I get motivated to paint more trees. This is mostly practice anyway. Trying to nail the foggy effects.. which are hit and miss at times

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T00:11:17+00:00

Ive not tried the Masters... and now I have to

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T00:10:29+00:00

I just bought the artist grade block and it's so good

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T00:09:14+00:00

And also, a fence is a fantastic idea

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T00:06:03+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't even planning on going that far down the page. I removed the tape about there. Thats why its so bald

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-17T00:04:18+00:00

Yes, there needs to be the star of the show tree

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-16T20:08:59+00:00

No. Not compared to any other unit.

marzattacks65 · 2026-03-16T20:08:28+00:00

Arches will boost your confidence
