Felix Gosh, looks like an underwater scene in Mediterranean industrial waters!
Well .... I do post my dragons on the site .... at least people can have a good daily laugh out of those, so these creatures are not totally worthless!

      Felix Awe, bless you Felix, you will get through it. I've felt so frustrated with some of mine I nearly threw my brushes out of the window but I'm glad I didn't. Some days it just doesn't work at all does it. You know what to do but it just doesn't happen. I guess it's like being a singer who knows all the words but can't hit the notes. I hide mine behind the wardrobe😅

        Ooo yes there have been some big failures. This is my favorite. This was my first animal attempt and it did not go well. Don’t make direct eye contact or it may steal your soul.

        I failed.. but I painted gesso over them and went at it again 😃 These were acrylics. My oil failures were scrapped off while wet and tried a second or third time 😃

        wybnormal did you try to post a photo too? At least it isn’t just me that can’t get photos to show lol

            I put my images up on Imgur and then just put a link in the thread.

              Lilikins I've fixed it for you. You need to link to the image (ending with .jpg or .png or similar). If it doesn't show up you most likely linked to the gallery on imgur (something with /gallery/ in the address)

              Most of the time you can just right click the image and select 'copy image url' or similar

                  Lilikins I'm sorry, but I've got to ask. What animal should it be? Looks like a vampire with a bow tie 😁

                    Felix thanks for fixing it Felix! It eventually turned out to be a meerkat with a bow. My husband asked me to paint him a meerkat but I had never painted an animal before. I had been following a YouTube tutorial on how to paint animals until this point and clearly the lesson wasn’t working lol. It looks more like a demon version of Rafiki (monkey from lion king).

                    My husband heard me laughing hysterically, came into my painting room and went “what...what is that THING?” Thats your meerkat sweetie. Your welcome!

                      I took it out but on my first one, I tried to put a deer in the background, Hubby walked by and asked why there was a dinosaur in my picture...I scraped real quick...lol

                      Felix Me too!
                      That could be an interesting event idea - paint a scene out of time. I saw one of the fan submissions on a Kevin Hill YouTube video that had what looked to be an ancient sword and armor rusting against a rock.

                        Alright, my turn to post something that was a failure and I painted over it.

                          doggymommee8301 Well, surprisingly there are days when things just do not work, I would hope amount of those days would go down as i gain experience. but nope. Another interesting aspect that i noticed that my own eyes are worse than camera. In reality blending did not look that bad, but when I aimed my camera all those circles appeared and became visible straight away. Major difference between two paintings was medium, tee is a beautiful medium, only what scares me that it will darken a lot comapre to oil+turpentine.
