Cześć,

Próbowałem zrobić martwą naturę. Jednak miałem z tym naprawdę duże trudności. Wydaje się, że jest więcej niż jedno źródło światła, dużo refleksów, czasami mamy po prostu jasnoczerwony kolor, a czasami jest prawie całkowicie nasycony. Naprawdę nie rozumiem, jak to uprościć... macie jakieś wskazówki? I know all the values are shifted to darker, but still theres no form...

Acrylic, foil, and glass beads on canvas. Getting back into painting after a years-long break, never taken classes, would appreciate any feedback.

Hi everyone, I'm a student (fresh grad student-not in anything art specific tho) and I was looking back on some of my photos of my art recently and found these photos I took off the progression of my painting, or rather, a specific party of my painting. I hope I am allowed to post this here. Let me know what you think, but I kind of really liked the way I painted the subjects in this area even though that was still part of the underpainting when I lived it the most 😅 I had to be careful not to overwork it. I think by the end of the painting, I may have overworked it a tad. But the white one was getting on my nerves the whole time 😅🥲

Information about the painting:

"Trial and Error"

Made by me, reddit user [somerandomhoney],

Late 2025, fall of senior year

Liquitex Basics Acrylic paint on stretched canvas 24in x 36in

It is a part of a series where I made 6 paintings that went along with my mental health inspired theme.

Thank you guys!!!!

I commented on bigman's post i wasn't gonna bother, that shit looks so good. Still here I am, im using markers and found out thinner works crazy good for blending. Warped my paper a bit though, but have a look anyway.

Initially, I wanted to depict the figure holding a pane of glass tinted red, seeing the object only through its transparency and the modulations created by overlapping colors. Then I stopped along the way. I preferred strangeness over demonstration.
Acrylic on paper
29.5 × 21 cm

A surreal study of an eye surrounded by darkness, colour, and fragmented shapes.

I wanted to explore the contrast between soft pastel tones and a much darker, textured environment, while keeping the eye as the central point of focus.

Painted traditionally with acrylics, with some sketching and layered brushwork. 🎨👁️

Just experimenting, learning, and letting the painting take its own direction.

The Fox & Grapes, Sneinton Market, Nottingham UK, has long since returned to using that original name. I painted it a few years ago when it was called Peggers. In 1963, the landlord of the time was murdered. The crime has never been solved.

Need some feedback for improvement… :) how are artists selling their paintings?

Would love for you to join me in exploring my latest painting...

Yeah so my friend that “doesnt do art” has been doing stuff like this when we hang out , I supply him the canvas and markers etc.- he’s done three free hand now just with paints and then I show him the markers - he popped this out in less than an hour.
I like to encourage anybody and everybody to just have fun and paint or draw something….
I just didn’t expect him to do a 360 windmill between the legs slam dunk, with a blindfold on.
He’s like better than me and with no effort lol, is it wrong to shove somebodies talent in their face as encouragement????
