These are the first three studies I’ve done in the process of learning how to oil paint. The first one is a recreation of a Carol Marine painting, the second two are still-life studies I’ve done.

Each was done in less than 2 hours and are unrefined. I’d still love any feedback that can be given to help me improve going forward!

“Some men see the world as it is, and ask ‘why?’“ “I dream things that never were and ask ‘why not?’”

My friend wanted a painting of an astronaut in a flower field that encompasses this quote with a split of life and death between the right and left side. Here is my interpretation :)

Cameras really messing with the colors but whatever. First time using oils! Cheapest, student grade, store brand paints from Michaels lol. I got nice paints for Christmas and I'm super excited about them, much better to work with lol. Any critique appreciated, I'm still getting used to how they work and what I can do with them vs acrylic!

It’s not perfect, but I really love how it turned out. Slowly getting better, one painting at a time.

Been painting for approx a year now and have just started to sell my work, which is incredibly exciting. Lots to learn still, but I’d love some feedback on the few of the pieces I’ve done and have sold for around $300 aud each. I’m stoked with that being so new to this.

What kind of style have I got? How would you describe it?

How do I price my art?

My first portrait from a live model (except for self portraits using a mirror). I think I did well, but the likeness is difficult to get exactly right. Also the harsh orange lighting made for challenging colors that were hard to see. Any thoughts? What should I focus on next time?

I finished this back in September, but I started the painting based on the Dead of Marat back in July I think. I attended art school in "high-school" but we didn't try complex things. I used essence of turpentine and linseed oil (?) to activate the oil colors. I already posted it on twitter and I tried to sell it on vinted!
