The Grandeur of Summer

Utopia94 22 Dec 2023

I have never painted in my life. I think you can see it. The positive thing first, I finally started painting and had fun. But nothing really worked. The clouds are too big, otherwise I still like them best with the mountains. The reflections were terrible, as were the trees. I couldn't paint anything on top of the previous color. It just didn't hold. That's why I couldn't go into the details at the end, the entire front layer was just mud. In the end I really was a typical mud mixer. BUT it's my painting, I'm proud of it. Hopefully it's the start of a long journey and I'll look back on it with a smile one day.

congrats on your first! And welcome to Two Inch Brush :D

maybe the base layer of liquid white was too thick? That has caused me problems with mud as well.

A good first go Lukas!

Welcome. Happy painting!

Welcome aboard! For your first one, you should be very proud of this. Your clouds are especially good. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Hallo Dirk,
darauf komme ich sicher bei Zeiten zurück. Ein paar interessante Artikel habe ich schon gelesen und vor allem viele Tolle Bilder. Auf meiner langen Liste an Motiven steht dein Büffel Bild auch ganz weit oben. Dir auch frohe Weihnachten.

Thanks Jeffth, that was a good advice! I used to much paint in general and didnt cleaned the brushes between enough.

Thanks both of you Jin7 and Cronenberg :) I am glad to be here.

Thank you very much rtparsjr. All your nice words motivated me to paint another one right today.

Welcome! Nice 1st painting!

Nice first! Don't be hard on yourself at this point. It takes some practice to learn to paint. There are many wonderful artists her to help you on your way.
