            I figured I would join in on the fun! These are technically Water Miscible Oils but I do not use water as a thinner. …and technically I do not use an easel even though I own one. I prefer to work on the floor as you can probably see from the picture :)

                I love the mother and child one, Sam! You have a nice touch with color and depth here.

                    I did so little today, one might wonder… It was the 3 bottles in the lower left.

                    I have to pick up my car at the mechanics, so I am stopping early. It will be evening by the time I get back.

                        Wow, what size is that? I recognise some of the bills. Its like a bunch go miniature portraits and you get the likeness down on some of them quite well.

                        Here is an updated picture:

                            It is 36″x48″ (approx 91.5x122cm) The first few were really hard to get likenesses of, not that I tried very hard to get them all recognizable, I did on the more universally identifiable ones like the Pound Note. I knew it was going to be tedious, which is probably why the sketched out canvas sat for 9 months before I got around to painting it. The notes are kind of just gestured in for the most part, good practice deciding how much detail to leave out! It would have taken ages to do that, and I think would not have enhanced that overall look if the painting at all.

                            Nice work on the mother and child! Babies are hard to paint.

                                The canteens are blocked in. Spouts all in too. I glazed over the tilted sign on the bottom. The writing was too distinct, tried to make it look like slightly dusty glass.

                                    I started a beach scene today. It’s oil and 16×20.” I love the colors but I’m pretty scared I’m going to ruin it😱 I’ll forge ahead, hope I don’t and see what I learn. I plan on adding some clouds and distant land/island and a dune or two onshore. Maybe a couple people if I get really adventurous!

                                    Advise is sorely needed and wanted!!
                                    Thank you!😊

                                                Eisenhorn, this is stunning, but it’s hard to believe it’s a self portrait, unless you can paint without eyes!:lol:

                                                        Thank you Nancy for pumping up my ego :cool:

                                                        I’ll tell you a secret, just my painting ages.. I think I stole this from somewhere :evil:

                                                        I would love to have that with my normal eyesight ahahah

                                                        I am using a skull picture as reference, changing the features to look a bit more like me

                                                        I will post the final result in a better quality and without glare :)

                                                        By the way, all wonderful works in this thread, art is a true source of life!

                                                            By no means finished, I have crossed the point where it is all downhill from here.
