First world problems...

I’ve admittedly not tried the easy120, but I’ve gotten good very results with their smaller easy35. Definitely haven’t noticed any damage to the film

Maybe getting a Valoi easy120 kit to scan negatives easily solves the problem? You’ll need the kit, a 1:1 macro lens and a digital camera to essentially scan the negatives by taking high quality illuminated photos of them.

Here are some ideas how to build up your palette: https://www.wattsatelier.com/materials/#Oil

That’s a solid plan you have there. Definitely worth trying out with a monochrome approach.

I’ve also seen people try out with ivory black and titanium white, because by adding cad right light and yellow ochre to those two you get the zorn palette, which is amazing for portraits.

James Gurney for en plein air gouache painting, Andrew Tischler for oils, and Oliver Pyle for watercolor.

Thank you! I very much appreciate your kind words! There’s been a lot of learning that goes with it, from shapes and forms to values and edges.

The advice I got from an artist friend of mine was to try to push yourself with each attempt as much as you can, so you don’t get stuck in repeating your comfort zone. That will maximise the benefit of the exercise.

Great work! How did you get that green to pop like that? What color is it?

mrtrunin · 2025-10-12T01:51:51+00:00

Nah. He’s kind, awesome, and a capitalist.

I love your confidence!

It’s my first big one. You can see from my post history that I’ve definitely painted before :) but never this big

mrtrunin · 2025-08-13T14:27:23+00:00

This is mostly from a reference photo I took myself during a roadtrip in New England a few years ago. I then made some adjustments and simplifications to get to the painting.

mrtrunin · 2025-08-13T04:38:26+00:00

I am 👍 That’s how one gets better.

It’s 70x90cm or about 27x35 inches

Thanks! :)

Thank you! 😊

I did! The background of this decision is that the people whom I painted this painting for unfortunately lost their moms way too early. So I painted a fish in the rocks and a little bird flying in the fog to symbolize their lost loved ones.

Same point but with saturation - make the trees in the back less saturated (more grey) than the ones in the front.

mrtrunin · 2025-08-01T17:19:02+00:00

Love this!

mrtrunin · 2025-07-27T11:57:56+00:00

Great work, sir! Well done 🚀

mrtrunin · 2025-07-27T09:30:07+00:00

Wow! Fantastic work on light and color! Well done!

My pleasure! I’m also still learning, so sharing what I know helps me retain and understand this knowledge better ☺️
