Check out this OIL PAINTING I made on this very snowy Canadian day
We had a good snowfall today, around 25cm or so. It was actually really serene out. The snow was incredibly heavy and wet so it stuck to the trees. I got inspired to try and paint an "after the snowfall" type of scene after working outdoors all morning.
I tried to create this vignette look and aimed to create the illusion of heavy snow hanging off the tree branches. Overall, I wanted to paint something really soft and simple using a very limited palette - blue, black, white, and a touch of brown for the tree trunks.
Winter has officially begun, it seems.

I really don't have much experience with any kind of painting or drawing, so it's hard to compare to other mediums. I often will use acrylics and various colored gessos to paint "underpaintings" that I then add oils to. That can create some interesting effects. I really like oils, though. For a guy with 0 art experience, they were a very forgiving medium to use. It's difficult to fuk up so irreparably that your entire painting can't be salvaged. As Bob Ross said, "we don't make mistakes, just happy accidents."

I'd say it's all about practice, really. I can see slight progress with every attempt. I always inspected it after and set goals for my next one. It was a nice way to keep moving forward.

From a person just taking up the hobby, that is awesome! What are the dimensions of the painting and how much would you sell it for?

Oil paint is really messy so I figured the less I wear, the less I stain.Originally Posted By Hutrapper⏩
Luckily, the hot tub is in my basement next to my bar - both of these are next to my recording studio. It's a nice little area I've set up. It was actually quite nice to walk in from hours outdoors in the tundra, strip off my wet clothes, and just jump in there and relax for 20min. It's great the day after back training too. Those jets do wonders for aching muscles.I figured the commies would have banned hot tubs by now. You know, to help flatten the curve...

Due to my schedule, that quickly became once every 2 weeks, but I kept that going, almost 2 years now. I don't think there's any magic involved here. I had the interest, the dedication, and I put in the time, and that's how progress is made. I don't really believe in the concept of innate talent. I'm a musician myself and have been composing music half my life. That's my primary artistic outlet. That took a lot of time and dedication as well. I have old recordings of myself playing guitar as a teen and they sound just terrible.From a person just taking up the hobby, that is awesome!

Practice and dedication are key!
I'm currently not interested in selling paintings but they are piling up, so in the future I might have to offload a few. I have no idea what a painting like this could sell for. The shipping from Canada would most likely be an absolute nightmare.
