Most artists don’t fail because of talent. They disappear. So let’s fix that. New challenge: Show Up & Create → 3x per week→ for 30 days→ post whatever you made (finished or messy) Rules: - No perfection - No overthinking - Just proof you showed up - Miss a day? Don’t quit. Just continue. This is about becoming someone who creates. Not someone who waits. I’m in too. Who’s joining?

Hello, painting of Stockholm to get some attention. Does anyone have tips for drawing drills for buildings? Or YouTube accounts? I like drawing buildings but have no training whatsoever in perspective and all the rest 😅. Sam

Hi there! I’m very happy to be able to ask questions on here (I don’t have a lot of artist friends to turn to 🤣). I hope to get some tips for the following 😊 I started painting about 6 months ago, this being my 3rd or 4th painting with oilpaint. I’m ‘self taught’ so I’m figuring out a bunch of things while practicing, mostly watching tutorials. I struggle with the skintone on my portrait, though the skintone in the reference is warm (tanned skin in summer) I think mine is too warm (the color is slightly brighter and warmer in real life then on the picture I took of the painting). I tried toning it down by glazing some thinned blue/greenish color over it, but it looked muddy and by wiping the glazing it just sort of got stuck in the canvas structure, looking weird. I’ve never really tried glazing so I don’t know what I’m doing tbh 🤣 Also: I used sienna as the color for the underpainting, maybe that was’nt the best choice. I’m wondering if I should wait with correcting the skintone until I finish the bottom of the painting and the hat (its a black and white Checkered hat), because that puts the color into context? If glazing is the best option, please let me know how you would do this (which steps, color) or link tutorials 🫶 Ps: the painting is me as a young child holding up a drawing I made (I have to ad the drawing later 😉) 😊 Thanks in advance!
