I’m still pretty nee and had been struggling a lot with brush cleaning, I have just got this sorted pretty much, and spotted this, found a lovely reference photos by a work colleague who was very old be used, so I gave it a go, I struggled, and with no guidance on colours or tutorial I found this very challenging, but I have produced something, that I’m actually pretty pleased with. Makes a change, right, anyway oddly the oils dried up a bit too fast and I struggled with that too, but I feel like I have some great parts to it. I was terribly nervous painting from someone else’s photo, that was a strange feeling, but I’m really pleased with my interpretation of the photos, and no it’s doesn’t really look like the photo, but as Felix said, just to paint from a photo, not that it needs to be realistic, and I’m glad I tried it anyway. As always, I’d love any feedback on it, good or bad, any suggestions or ways to improve, the only way to learn right!
Tel, you should have a go, I have, and I was like in the dark without the BR training wheels, it’s hard to make colour choices in your own, but honestly, I have no regrets trying this community event.
I love Toms idea to paint another’s art work, I love the idea doing something in BR style that’s not one of his, imagine, Goya or Escher in BR style, how that would look.
what I like about this current event is that the photo could be anything and what you create is your version of it, however that is whatever that looks like. Very flexible, and very enjoyable!
