Oil painting #6
Added 2023-01-14 10:33:48 +0000 UTCSwitching things up a bit to a landscape. It turned out a bit dark and a bit too saturated honestly. The lit trees i'm decently happy with, but the blues are just a bit too blue and could have done with some toning down.
It is pretty easy to fall in that trap given all the tube colours are just very saturated by default and while i very rarely use straight tube colours they still end up very saturated even when mixed. So will keep in mind to make a deliberate effort to tone down especially the starker ones like blue which in all the paintings seems to be the worst offender so far.

Yeah, was a fun switch-up from the usual more portrait focussed pictures :D Thanks!

2023-01-14 16:50:09 +0000 UTCYeah, so far it's fun. It kind of hit the stage now where that initial "just playing around" phase is over and my ambitions have overtaken my control of the medium. So it's a bit more of a case of not being quite happy with the pictures. But that's just how it always goes.
