Tealightby `joannastar

Scraps

Once again, perspective fail

Painted from the tealight sitting next to the laptop on the table... it's hard to keep looking at it from the same point of view... I kept getting confused.

Moar progress

Interesting subject matter

A little tip I can offer: when you are painting it is always good to show unity in the painting. If you look closely at my Kiss from a Rose you could notice it very well: you can see green hues on the rose and pink hues on the leaf. It's subtle, but it really changes a lot.
So when painting, it is a good idea to have some low opacity brush strokes in the colour of the surrounding objects on the main object and vice versa. That's how light works

Good point! I even know what that's called in 3d lol, a gather effect. Plus it's much easier to apply to a painting than 3d work too.

I really appreciate your advice and comments

It's what I'm here for

to nudge you gently into believing you can paint

And I'm glad it makes sense to you

I'm trying not to push too hard, so it's only a bit of an advice at a time

Thanks

that's so cool!!

i like the subject you chose

it's a bit japanese

what i don't like is that the green and brows seem of the same saturation level
and there should be more highlight on them from the candle

i for one would go crazy with shiny highlights

I think I need to learn when to stop being realistic and start being artistic, if you see what I mean. In real life they were that colour, but I guess as a painting they'd work better different...

I'm not good with the shiny highlights XD yet!
