@@NathalieMORAINVILLE felicitation

Im gonna paint my first painting on canvas and i wish it turn out good

Cool. Out of my first 50 paintings I only liked 3 or 4 of them. I'm really glad you like yours.

Kevin I have retired and started to paint , joined a weekly group and love i however my art work seems childish and o see how it has changed is sad. Our art tutor is amazing and full support is given when he notices I need some support. I am am not giving up as I enjoy the good group I have joined so i am hopi g to improve. Anyway Kevin just to say I have taken a big interest in your art and how to use the tools and you painting are just second nature to you. Thank you so very much.

I agree Catherine! My painting literally look so amateur, but I’ve been able to sell 3 already! Good luck on your journey!

I sometimes give some to our local charity shop. Because I can’t keep them all and it’s a real shame to just hide them away in a file if someone can enjoy them and the charity shop can sell them to help their funds. Not ideal of course,

Well, when I see some modern paintings which are a few splats and splices and dots and flick on the canvas and they are judged professionally to be almost perfect and worth thousands. Humm, I say to myself well at least my paintings look like something you’d recognise. I never understood why a heel of bricks was worth thousands, WHAT? I thought the artist meant that the bricks was a symbol of mankind’s evolved modern living. If you’d call some movies art. I watched How The West Was Won recently and although I feels it’s a brilliant movie, especially James Stewart playing Mr Rawlings went to see the Varmint, ha-ha. But after being sooo beautiful show the wilderness it’s peoples and animals over a few generations. They decided to end with a flyby over a huge motorway into a concrete city saying we’ll look at human progress isn’t it brilliant. No, actually it looks like a symbol of humans pollution and inconsiderate use of our earth. I don’t know but may be art that says something about how you feel and try’s to carry a message of some kind to the viewers are best. I love Stubbs paintings, celebrating the form of animals and OK mans manipulation of the breeds, I love Turner and Capability Brown. Having lived near Gibside one of Turners brilliant subjects helped of course. Art isn’t meant to be perfect, or why not just take a photograph. I’m struggling with techniques like all beginners, trying to find my style. Being a TAurean I have to tell myself not to be serious about stuff. And just let me enjoy painting something I like.

I hope you started. If not, it's never too late! And talent is one thing, but the most important is practice... and having fun while doing it of course :)

@@mars_12345 Amen!

Me too Tammy!!! I feel so relaxed watching this.. 😊

Paul Roberts Kevin paints in oil, which acts differently than acrylic, mainly in dry time. There’s additives you can add to reduce that, but it still doesn’t behave the same. Like that grass for instance, I could never do that in my acrylic pieces. I wish I could! But by the time you laid out all of your colors, the paint would be dry when you’re ready to fan brush it up.

I'm an acrylic artist. Definitely a great medium to start with. The key to making great acrylic paintings is to understand that your first coat of paint will be the ugly phase please don't give up there and just say you're not good at painting. That coat is what we call an underpainting where you just get the basic colors and shapes down. The more layers of paint you put on your painting the better it will look. You don't need to start with expensive paints. I use craft acrylic paint and as long as you put a gloss varnish on when you are finished you will never be able to tell it wasn't the expensive stuff. I love the look of oil paints but I make my acrylic paintings look like oils in the end by using the thinner craft paint and building layers. I suggest you work on canvas rather than paper. It will be easier to make it look good. I wirk on paper at times and it just takes a lot more layers as the paper soaks up a lot of water. If you choose paper do a layer of gesso mixed with gel medium first. You'll have a better surface that way. Acrylic is so forgiving. If you mess up you can just paint over the mistakes. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

@@LostInParadise8706 If you use a better quality paint, heavy body paint, your colors won't dry that fast. You can also use some flotrol that slows down the drying to be able to blend in a timely manner. But you're correct, it would dry with a cheap thin student paint like Apple Barrel.

im a pencil artist , now on acrylic. its very different but so interesting. try to learn skills by artist who you look up to for inspiration.
