*89k reps* Rate my new thanksgiving weekend oil painting

This was an impromptu painting. We had beautiful autumn weather here over the weekend. I live in the mountains surrounded by forest and I've always wanted to try painting outdoors. However, I use a lot of equipment and make a mess with my oils when I paint. I found a suitable compromise in creating an "under painting" using gesso and acrylics out on my porch. The day after, once the acrylic was dried, I added oils to the canvas. I wanted to create the illusion of sunlight filtering through the forest at sunset, trying to capture that golden, misty haze that accompanies this time of day.

I had a bit of trouble getting my bush highlights to stick as my brushes are getting kind of worn out and I didn't have a thicker layer of paint underneath (painted directly on dry canvas), but this was really fun.



Here's a picture of what it looked like before adding the oils:

*Look at reflection in car window and flex every time crew*
*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

Honestly, this is what I'd rate it also. I think that's even being generous. It really wasn't working out the way I wanted it to. The yellow ochre paint I was using is a bit too thick.

If anyone has any suggestions or photos of landscapes, I'm always looking for ideas. At this point, it's sometimes difficult to imagine what to paint.

Nice painting! Well done on getting that hazy sunlight effect, takes skill.

Do any action paintings, like Frazetta or Boris Vallejo? Was the only one in my classes that did stuff like this, always got lulzy responses.

That’s the issue. Most people don’t have the self control to do that

The under painting maybe 30min. Adding the oils and all highlights, 1.5 hours. It was pretty quick.

Nice job on the painting! And what about the aurora borealis? On my bucket list to see one day. Not sure how hard it'd be to paint.

You have this technique pat down, time to branch out and bring more variety, there's a lot of bob ross style painters. You will definitely do well in other styles and even sell stuff

8/10, this is close to the best you can get with this technique I think, but you're wasting your potential if you don't move forward

I've made a few. Here's one I did recently. I have an idea for a really large canvas with a massive mountain range and the northern lights. This was a practice of sorts.

I really can't draw people or faces. I've only just stuck to the landscapes and seascapes. I'm currently not thinking about selling paintings as I'm just doing it for fun. I also don't have all that much spare time and have a big 'to-paint' list going. Feel free to post a photo, though. It might provide me with a few more ideas for paintings. I have a whole video game themed series I still need to get to.
