I like these but the little spiky things kinda ruin them a little bit, I think.

It's a cube

Looking at this stirs feelings of revulsion. It's a cube. I don;t normally feel revulsion when I look at cubes. I actually quite like them. I'm maing an exception for this one. It's also glowing because I realised you could sort of smear and blend oil in interesting ways and couldn't resist playing with that.

Aaanyways.

Cuuuuuube:

I also gave this other painting a bit of a touch up this morning

Katzen! finished

I thought I'd already put this up but apparently not. I finished it. :)

First oil Painting

I did this remarkably quickly. It's a very small painting but it would have probably taken me twice as long with acrylics because they dry all the time and you end up having to remix the same colours over and over. I found them much easier to work with than acrylics. You can adjust the tone of colours already on the canvas just by blending other colours into the ones already present which is ace!

I've had some work on Etsy for a while and they haven't sold. I know it's because of the price tag but I'm not going to sell my work for less than minimum wage. If i can complete paintings in this short amount of time or less then I can try and sell them (although not this one. It's a gift) online much cheaper and hopefully have a little bit of extra money to support myself in Falmouth.

Painting Disaster... But here's some art images I like instead. :)

I spent half of today and last night trawling for decent stock photos to work from. Started a painting this afternoon and then decided I didn't like any of the images I'd found and scrapped it. Oh well! Here's some tastey art images, anyway.

Katzen!

I've been planning on working on my painting real things skills for ages but haven't been able to think of anything that would be fun to do. I spied this pic on deviantart that I really liked so I thought I'd have a bash at it. I'm still working on it but here are some progress pics. :) It looks terrifying to begin with... I almost abandoned it at that point because I was so annoyed at myself for making that much of a mess.

Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green

An experiment I did this afternoon. It combines the colour scheme from my elastic things with the doodles I did over the last week. It's a bit rough round the edges but I still like it. I may do a series of these. They are quite quick to do although the wilko's yellow is a pain and needs a million coats.

I may do some more of these yet though.
