I love to work with oils, specially on bristol paper with a knife, bristol paper suck the oil so you can clean it with a knife, en when you put more painting on it they overlaping in a beautifull way.

 

[Hazy_Nights.DC]

Indeed...painting with ink and such....

The clay pots in the foreground on this one look almost photorealistic

That's why Final Fantasy 16+ are so uncannily real..

yeah I guess they are the focal point. the painting won a prize here in Nogales. $50 lousy bucks, lol. I don't care pad I'm just happy someone took notice. I have an incredibly fragile eg0...at once suicidal and then narcissitic. I'm a mess...a lil tipsy now and sooner than later I'll go the way of Van Gogh...I am too fragile for this world

[Big_Lou]

[Hazy_Nights.DC]

If skilled and clever...dynamite.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

Nice stuff Danny Boy. Watercolors are a very difficult medium and your a real natural.

 

[Hazy_Nights.DC]

I try to do a color sketch in under 15 minutes

 

[dannyboy602]

the sketch I did looks dark. Flash washed it all out so I chose the lesser of the two.

 

[abe supercro]

[primabudda]

very nice.

look at where your sun is pointing, painting light on objects makes look realer.

just a bit of white on the top, light and shadows are the key to realistic paintings.





yea i know paint, and what ?

with this one I tried to convey distance. foreground, middle ground, background.

very nice.

I am trying to look in terms of warm and cool and always in terms of values. that's what the masters tell me. its all about the values.

 

[CaptainCAVEMAN]

Great work. I really like your use of shading in some of the tree pieces.

 

[primabudda]

you're good man !!




but what does values mean ? i never heard that before, i feel i should.
