*87k reps* another OIL PAINTING thread on this fine Sunday morning

I've had a few members ask me to post a few more of my paintings recently. I can't remember exactly what I posted in the past so it's possible there's a bit of overlap, but not too much. Here are a few oil paintings I created in the past 2 months or so. I tried to push myself and learn seascapes. I prefer landscapes so I'll stick with those in the future.

Currently trying to motivate myself to paint some time today.

Hope you enjoy. Just remember that I started last year with zero previous art skills. I just learned following along to episodes of The Joy of Painting. So, if any of you are interested in painting but you harbor a belief that, for some reason, you can't do it, let this thread serve as further proof to the contrary.You absolutely can do it. You just have to dedicate a bit of practice time, much like learning any other skill.













* this thread is dedicated to Samraiwise

Edit: I added another painting to post # 43

Decent! What do you do with the paintings when they're finished? Sell them or just hang them all in your house?

Thanks!

After painting 65-70 paintings, the difficult thing now is figuring outwhatto paint and not so muchhowto paint anymore. I usually stick with seasonally appropriate themes, like the first one posted in my OP which is my most recent painting.

It is. I tend to have 2 different painting days - one where I just paint for fun without too much pressure - super relaxing, and other days where I challenge myself to keep growing and developing as a painter. The latter is not so relaxing, but necessary for growth.

Overall, my goal is to be able to be well-versed enough to be able to come home in the evening and just paint for an hour if I'm stressed out.

How is finger painting? I once in a blue moon use my index to smudge something in my paintings or to create a circular moon or sun.

There's a lot of misconception when it comes to the arts. My primary artistic outlet is music. I've been composing half my life, play over a dozen instruments, and have a recording studio in my house where I craft and record songs. Music, like with any other art, is something you need to stick with to become well-versed.

Here is a picture of my very first painting I ever tried. You can see that with consistent practice, dedication, determination, and a generally positive outlook, I practiced readily and improved over the past 1.5 years.



wet on wet oil painting is pretty user-friendly. Any poster in this thread can get where I am now in regard to painting. You just need to be confident and give it a real try.

To give you a better idea, at first my goal was to paint once a week on the weekend. Eventually, that became once every 2 weeks as I was pretty busy at the time. I remained consistent with my bi-weekly painting goal.

My advice would be to look at a lot of art, try to visualize how you'd make it, take your time, be confident and try to let go of any self-deprecating thoughts. As cliche as it sounds, try to internalize the fact that you can do it. If anybody on this planet can do something, so can you. All of us have equal opportunity.

Appreciate it. Thank you. I'll probably start drawing again and strive to get better. Hopefully I'll become really good.

It's all about practice. A lot of people also have this natural inclination to engage in self-deprecating thoughts and turn art into a bit of a caricature at times. Karaoke and 'paint nights' exemplify this. It's this self-deprecating, "haha it's so funny that I'm schit at singing or painting" type of attitude in our culture that you have to try and distance yourself from. Once you build up confidence and internalize a belief that you can absolutely do it, and take the steps necessary to get yourself going and practice consistently, you'll get there.
