This was my second attempt after I ruined my first one.

Not sure if it is clear it is an arial view of the ocean/land. Also any advice for improving would be appreciated. I just started learning how to paint

Same Painting, different lighting

The last and #8 painting are simple master studies of John Singer Sargent.

I know my style is a little dated compared to what interesting things people are doing. But this is the style that I’m sticking to as a self taught artist. I also don’t do commissions, so I’m absolved from having to be concerned about it.

Most of the paintings are not in watercolor paper. I’m filling out a mixed media sketchbook, so I use anything on multimedia A4 and make do — fun challenge, makes you really appreciate watercolor paper. The master studies are on watercolor paper.

Anyways, always hoping to find more people who do or like this type of art.

Honestly I hate it. But I'm still glad I painted it, been painting or drawing every day for the last two weeks so it's important to me that I'm consistent.

Practicing with oils to be as realistic as possible and to be able to paint portraits and figures.

Please share any thoughts or advice. I am a beginner certainly but don't go easy on me, point out the mistakes (and the good parts too) and share any advice for improvement. Thanks!

I'm really stuck because I don't feel like they're as nice as they could be but I don't know exactly what they're missing

I like the simplicity but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

I don’t like the green and What should I do with the blank part? I am all ears for any suggestions! Thank you in advance. This is a 100cm x 150cm Canvas. Acrylic.

For those who paint with acrylic what did you use to practice on before you used canvas? Or did you always use canvas?

I’m just asking as canvas is expensive and also you can’t buy a lot of it unlike paper etc.

Hi all, new artist of 6 months. I do not have an artistic bone in my body lol but I truly believe that if you work at something you get better at it. That being said, PLEASE tell me if you see a common pattern in my painting that I could improve! Some sky’s need blending better.. (been working on this for a month or so), depth is a thing I struggle with and I’m not sure why lol. But anything and everything you see and say is much appreciated!

Thanks.

First time using impasto paste! I found it difficult to use my brush with it so I made all this using palette knives. I’d love some feedback so I know what I could do moving forward. This is 15x18 on cotton canvas. I included two images because the light hits it a little bit differently so I figured to give a couple pictures. I made a sketch in this book initially on scene over the summer and I really feel like it helped for making this.

Just focusing on the face more specifically lips / shading if really like to add more life and realism but I’m not really sure how let me know your thoughts

The green spaces feel empty to me so especially curious of any thoughts there.

Open to any and all feedback though!

Im trying to paint this but i got stuck on this part... It looks so weird on my reference too, do i have other options?
