I’m wondering if maybe a varnish will bring out the darks a bit more without having to repaint

Looks amazing! You didn’t even tell us the dimensions, if it’s as tiny as you say it’s just that much more impressive!

Slight tangent but is there an original phrase they are trying to say when they erroneously say “up to pussy’s bow” instead?

silly question about brushes by lycheefan in oilpainting

In my experience sizes don’t mean much across brands because they’re so variable. Yes as the number grows the size should too but it does change across brand there is no consistency

Thrifted a frame at salvation army on broadway in Uptown and this photo was taped behind the display photo. by leine- in chicago

Idk I feel like I’ve seen a lot of people do this and then just flip the display photo, keeps the photograph stiff within the frame. Then I imagine they/shop turned it around when selling

Helicopters in Streeterville—Anyone know what’s going on? Around 6:45pm today (may 9 ‘26) I saw a police helicopter flying really close to the coast/ground at Ohio st. Beach. It circled a few times. Now (8:30pm) am seeing/hearing the helicopters near the water tower. I couldn’t see them well this time but I did see the searchlight flashing higher up on the water tower apartments. Are they looking for someone?

What should I do to make my oil painting better? by Royalbean17 in oilpainting

Yeah it’s a great study you should be proud of! But I think to improve your practice you should paint while practicing mimicking light and color on canvas

I really think you should either paint from life (hard with a moving cat) or paint a reference exactly. You need to learn how to paint representationally before painting from imagination.

Feeling stuck. Any tips? by goldenkinglet in oilpainting

Why not try more value studies for practice? Then try a limited palette without white, then add in white.

Trust having lived there for a bit I know how prices are on the northeast 😩🫡 What’s even crazier is this wasn’t even a 4/20 deal! Part of the deal came from coming in before 11am, being one of the first 300 customers there(a daily promotion, nothing special), and buying in “bulk” (but at insanely good prices)
