            I’m a new artist. Just started creating works of art last Christmas. This will be my 2nd painting. I was going for a more abstract look at 1st but I didn’t like it so I whipped it out and decided to go more towards realism. I’m working on the girls neck right now.

            The hairs not done it’s just stain on the canvas. I could use a few tips on the hair. It’s got a bunch of curls in it from around the chin down. It’s very black in the shadow areas and I don’t want it to just be flat.

                the boys hair is looking decent from a distance. Kind of meh up close. Nature of the beast I guess.

                        learning a lot. double portrait is sorta a BRAIN BUSTER.

                        Was a hair off with the boys nose. Hopefully it doesn’t dry by tomorrow.

                            @Ellis Ammons, I really like the lighting of the woman’s face. As far as curly hair, I’ve heard look at the overall structure and shape and not get over-focused on individual curls. Great looking portrait. (I’m also working on a double portrait, which I’ll post here.)

                                I’ve been working on this for a while. It is finally getting to a place I like.

                                    Started with a rough landscape, mountain with lakes.
                                    oilpaint on canvas, 60 x 80 cm.

                                    Painting is my passion.

                                    Nearly done! I haven’t painted much since (oh dear god) the late 1990s. Yeah, like a century ago. I started again last fall. Mostly I have been doing small format on canvas paper. And I have not been spending a lot of time with choosing subject matter- mostly just straight up “I like this photo, and I want to work on this skill” stuff. In this case, I wanted to work with backlit storm clouds and practice scumbling with flake white. It was a grisaille underpainting with my pet medium of stand oil, damar varnish and turps glazed over. Some pics I posted shows a signature- I wiped it off tho, needs more fiddling haha.

                                    This is an imgur gallery of the whole process: https://imgur.com/gallery/UVLlo

                                        Jan van Kleeff – Nice scene, excellent realism.

                                        ApocalypseMeow – Love that medium for that type of work, it really makes it glow.
                                        I looked at your process, (is that really your username there, funny) :)

                                        #530981

                                        Ianuk- yes, it is :p. i do at least remember it easily! Thank you :) that is exactly what I was going for. I do like a good glowy light.

                                            @Jan – The mountain scene is amazing. I’m in awe.

                                            Last night, a friend and fellow artist came over and gave me a critique of my painting-in-progress. I decided to fix the proportion on the woman’s face to be more realistic. In the process, it looks like a step backwards, but hopefully is heading in the right direction.

                                                I’ve always got several pieces going at once but currently this one… thought I was done and signed it then realized I forgot the kickstand! :wink2: 40×40 inches, oil on canvas.
