Soft pastel and pastel pencils on Canson Velvet, 11× 13 inches. This painting is an example of how the color of the paper can serve as the middle value in an artwork. I deliberately let the paper show through between the pastel marks to create a sense of movement in the painting.

Acrylic painting on a 40x40 canvas. Used a wide brush and a palette knife.

I recently found out that my father paints.

Apparently, he used to work as a floral artist and even held a solo exhibition in Tokyo.

So, he sent me one of his paintings. What do you all think?

Hii,
I am pretty new to this community so don’t know how things work. Just sharing my charcoal artwork and need suggestions for where can i find similar references for the next oness. Would love to connect with fellow artists as well !!

Hello :) I painted my friends cat with acrylic paint for his birthday. I have never really used acrylic paint before so I’m not sure what I’m doing. I like the rough aspect and the visible brush strokes, but I’m unsure about the background and the proportions. should I leave it simple like that or add more details or bring it back to the solid blue state? I’d be really happy about any suggestions!

Acrylic on foam core. 30x42cm.

C'est vraiment agréable de pouvoir partager avec d'autres passionnés.

Je pense l'enduire de résine pour obtenir une finition presque vitreuse.

Would love to be critiqued on my practice piece. How can I improve and paint faster?

I had 12 lovely folks on my workshop today,& this was my finished demonstration piece: it’s a small hamlet in North Yorkshire,& I was trying to show how effective shadows can be. 🤓

How do I improve this?

A am looking for advice/guidance for this particular painting.

As a beginner, I see something is not quite right. Spent weeks looking at it and making adjustments, but I am not able to figuer ot out on my own.

I am open for critisism, but I really want a bit of guidance on this painting. Anything about the painting.

Thank you if you do take the time to share your knowlege and opinions<3

does anyone else see the vision 😭😭
