Painting!

Vendetagainst:
Those are really awesome, I just started oil painting (as in a few days ago) and I'm really amazed at how good you are.

Jepser:
Effin' rad, would love to learn how to paint a little, oil paint seems like the coolest. As for now I only do pastel pencil drawings and the like.  :lol:

nettatea:
I think the first one is great, owing largely to the shapes and colors you chose. I think the shape of the bike makes the simplicity in the rest of the painting work. And the color of the wall, similarly, makes the color choices to the right work.
But I think the second painting lacks that factor that ties it together. The detail in the car comes close to balancing the blur of the buildings, but not enough for me. I think the buildings closer to the right should have more definition, or the blur should be balanced some other way. As it is the painting looks under-worked to me. Also I think the colors in the second painting are too muted overall.
I do really like the way you rendered the car in the second painting though.

dancarter:
Really nice stuff.  I like the oozy quality of the first one, and as said the colour is realy nicely handled.

Is it okay to put other paintings in here?
Here are two acrylics I did for a show at Fanshawe College in London for the Mackie Cryderman Foundation.  They're called "Solvent".  I'm not happy with the skin tones on the female, and embarassed by the fact that I used myself as reference for the male....I don't get out much.  Oh well.  They measure 5' x 5' together.


And two watercolour illustrations for a now defunct e-zine's short stories called "Wet" and "Mary"

...And I'm reviving this thread.

Here's what I've got:

This one looks a little weird for some reason. See it not weird here: http://img244.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cemeterynowpaintedmw0.jpg



They're not all that great, but not all that bad.
