This is my first attempt at painting a landscape, please keep in mind that it is far from done and I am just starting to use acrylics, which i am starting to enjoy more and more. I started taking a 5 week workshop with a local artist Andrew Giffin, who is very helpful and has a wonderful way of working with people. I am hoping that I can get a couple more started so if I run into any problems i can get some help with them over the next few weeks. I started this painting on Wednesday night and only worked on it at home for a bit last night, but I ca see improvement, when i first started it I hated it :(, but as I work on it I think it might just turn into something 🙂
Krista,
So far, this is magnificent. I think it looks great! Yes, I go between oil and acrylics, but always come back to the latter for many reasons.
I like what I see!
Enjoy your week,
Brian
Looks awesome, Krista!! I'm glad you're starting to like acrylics!!
Thank you Manon and Brian, I am going to try the oils soon (I have had oils now for at least 2 years lol) mind you there is not much that I don't have in way of art supplies 🙂
Love the colors in this. It will be great. I start Oil classes next week. I can't wait.
Thanks Carl, who are you taking classes from? Let me know how you like the oils
You are doing great with the acrylics. I have tried to play with them a couple of times but I haven't had any success. This one is looking good!
Thanks Vicki, I can relate they are definitely frustrating sometimes, watercolor is so much easier 🙂
Beau travail… Ce chemin nous emmène loin… et j'aime.
Thank you Martine
For someone who has never done landscapes – WOW. And in an unfamiliar medium as well. Well done Krista, it's terrific.
Thank you Liz, it will be interesting to see how it turns out 🙂
Your work is lovely 🙂
Krista, it's beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing it completed. Enjoy the medium, it's great fun.
All the best to you.
Joan
Thank you Joan and Jeanne
This painting is coming along beautifully – the colors and techniques are great. Acrylics fascinate and yet scare me to death – I stick to oils and watercolor and wish I knew how to handle acrylics:)
Thank you Barb, I felt the same way about them, but it gets a little better every time I use them 🙂
Outstanding for a first attempt! No one would ever guess.
Thank you Toemailer
