PAINTING!


PAINTING!


That last one is epic. Love the clouds and shadow-creature.
Person's head is kinda weird, like, what angle is their head pointing?
these are miles further compared to the previous pages, the still life with the blue ball is evidence enough
youre building your painting confidence and youre expressing through sheer spots of color more now, where before it seemed like you were working more inwards from an original outline, idk
thats 50%, the other half is the tone selections, the first two have really great perfect complimentary colors and that adds to the whole feel
these just have less tones, less transition, and thus more contrast. this makes them more dynamic and makes it so an actual confidence comes off the actual painting
good shit, just keep this in sight and keep actively moving in this direction, i cant paint but i can see what i think is good, and damn its impressive how quickly you put ground inbetween your first paintings and these lastest

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

poop
man your paintings are so smooth, something about them makes them look real edible too. i really dig the bold chunks of shadow, and pretty much everything about it. and to be honest, you're improving a helluva lot man. sorry if i don't have any crits, 'cause i really don't. very stylistic strokes man. beautiful work zach


ty for the kind words my friend..
yes, the colors are so tasty
anyways update on grapes/teapot/onion
that onion looks wonderful. So does everything else, but...that onion...
thank you, I tried to onion'ize it as much as I could, I think I'm still a little off on the values, but so is everything else in this..
man, these details are looking great, very stylistic. the have a flowy/hazy look to 'em. i really wanna see how this looks finished
onion'ize lol
this is almost done to be honest..


Zack, that looks amazing! The cloth has had some very nice attention given to it. I think the wine bottle in the background, particularly the yellowy bottom thing, could use some more love, to match up with everything else on there. As you said, it's essentially done, but if I were you I would render the bottle a little more, it looks a little flat right now.
yeah I know what you mean about it looking flat, i think most of it is due to the photo, because it doesn't look that flat when I look at it..
yeah there's a couple more things to work out, like the overall light, and some other things need more modeling, like the grapes, leaves, the bucket on the left, and some other stuff..





and i'm spent!
Hey dude
this is a nice painting.
next time I want to see you work with edges more. having the full array of super crisp edges and ghostly suggestions brings out so much in the subject.
If you can id recommend to set up your own small still lives for studying, even simple single object ones. by a couple of months time you'll have a complete series that you could even sell and get some $$$ with!
I know I'm going to setup a studio somewhere in my basement and start doing a bunch of still life and portrait work
I need to start making some dough with this stuff so I don't have to slave drive my ass to a job that could go to someone else that really needs it
this is weird but can you give a little biography? im curious about where you're living or if you're in school right now or what your plans for art are.
this is gorgeous man. inspiration to want to paint. no crits, but if i'd have to say something, the jug feels like it's receding behind the wine bottle, which i'm guessing is due to it's cool color palette. i love this piece
ret-
I'm almost 20 years of age, the beginning of a new decade..
I hate college, I just want to be doing art, not studying for algebra..
I enjoy the writing though, that's always good for ya
I wish I read more.. maybe I should invent a time stopper..
I want to learn all there is about art
I want to live happily, with art in my heart
I want to move to somewhere warm, all the time, most likely beachy
even though I hate my life.. but whatever
I don't make enough time for art anymore
so busy
don't want to hurt my hiney
this house business is tough
sittin on all my stuff
w/e'
I'll get through
after I make my will




hell yeah man, these have your style written all over them, especially the second one. i love the forearm on the second piece. these are really neat man
