Happy Monday Dear Artist friends,
I’m back in this forum after a few years, please feel free to comment on this work, I worked on this painting for 3 days so far last week, I’m not sure if I should continue to work on it or leave it , its Oil on wood , 24×20″, and it’s influenced by my visits to Venice Beach any advice I would appreciate it, and feel free to check my other work that I’ve done to compare with what I’m doing now…and If i may I have a question about Toned grounds below…
Toned Oil grounds Question, is using a N5 or N6 Value Toned Ground safe ? so that the painting will not tend to go too dark with time , I’ve read that with time the painting will tend to get darker with toned grounds, how dark can you do them?…some artists prefer to work on a white canvas because it keeps the brightness of the colors and values, Ive worked on toned and white oil grounds and I’ve always wondered what is the best way to do this, any advice I would greatly appreciate it, thank you :):wave:

Don’t care for the “airbrushed” background; it looks like a product illustration (for ice cream, maybe :). I think the women’s bodies need more modeling — you’ve started to do some on their faces, keep it up.
toned grounds, how dark can you do them
Check out some Rembrandt portraits
No skill, no art.
Sure, and incidentally, the “illustration” remark was not intended to be an insult — that’s how Edward Hopper and many others started
No skill, no art.
