RikerChick 5 Posted June 16, 2008 I'm just gonna make a thread in here to post my paintings since I plan to do a lot more painting. This one is from today. I'm not thrilled with it but I don't dislike it either. I'm still learning how to do this so I'm trying to not be too self critical. Click for Spoiler: This one is the one from the other day.

oldfan1 0 Posted June 16, 2008 I like the one from today better than the older one, I like the sun through the clouds. By any chance are you using the Bob Ross technique? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekz 7 Posted June 16, 2008 Very nice! How long does it take you to finish one of these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RikerChick 5 Posted June 16, 2008 Very nice! How long does it take you to finish one of these? Thank you. The first one took about 1 1/2 hours, today's took a little over 2 1/2 hours, but today I had both kids and they wanted to "help" mommy paint lol, so I had more distractions.

Kor37 9 Posted June 16, 2008 I like the new pic better as well. I think it amazing that you can crank out such a high quality painting in so short a time. You could have your own gallery in no time at this rate!... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RikerChick 5 Posted June 16, 2008 Thank you Kor I finally figured out what was driving me crazy in the painting from today. Fortunately oils take forever to dry so I could go back and fix it. Click for Spoiler: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted June 16, 2008 I just spent a few minutes looking back and forth from the before and after pics. Not having an artistic bone in my body, I can't tell what it is you "fixed" but it still looks great!..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
