I've been painting wildlife with acrylic paints in a realistic style
for years. I was just sick of it, so I decided to change. I bought some
oils and took a workshop from Carol Marine in December. I was bound and
determined to paint loose and change my ways. Fast forward three months.
I've decided, for the most part, to stick with what I know. After a
couple months of frustration, I keep drifting back to acrylic and
painting tighter. I am still determined to loosen up and not just stick
to wildlife subjects.
I guess I should have labelled this post "bit off more than I can chew"
Here
is an older painting I did that is hanging in our kitchen that I
decided to auction off. My wife probably won't be happy with me if it
sells. It's okay, though I'll just paint her another one.
I am very impressed with your "stick to what you know" paintings. Still love the geese, would love to have Max pose for you.
ReplyDeleteHey man, Don't knock tight realism. It's not everyone who can do it. If you enjoy it, keep going. You're very good at it!
ReplyDeleteThis is really amazing Scott!! The patience it takes to do this kind of work, will get you to wherever you feel you need to go with painting.
