Love that you have no music...I rather be in your painting than in the 'real' world...the same feeling when looking at Chardin or Morandi. Checked your site and really like the 'Still Life w/Oil Can." I wanted to look at all paintings (so tiny!)...takes time to click on each one...then it goes back to the top and then have to scroll down and find where I was. But, I like all the quietness your paintings (and your site) exude. Like the space you have around the subjects, not cramped at all. ^ . ^

@ortegablue thnx.... Yes i have to change that some time on the siite, but when........

So at about 0:30 you do that step where you pre-mix the right colors, for different areas, and compare with the real thing, right?

Very good to know, I never did that until now, must save a whole lot of time to have them pre-mixed like that :)

[josvanr]

@firuinthehouse yes, its nice to have some piles of paint that are more or less what you need for the different areas in the painting.....

@GahDub Actually I don't ever draw from photos... What you said about the lens seems correct, still, the farther side of the cake shouldn't be wider than the front side. No rectangle in the world gets wider on the farther side no matter how you look at it.

[josvanr]

@Stellmarine you are right, I could have corrected it but kind of liked it like this.. (theoretically the pie could be a trapezoid)

this is so real and creamy. more than the photo! love that it's not a perfect square cut piece of pie. more lifelike.

@josvanr Awesome stuff, you just saved me from buying a bunch of canvases :)

I realized I have this spare MDF board, quite large, and already gessoed. Rather than storing it til next year (when I'll need it for school) I'll cut the sucker up and paint a bunch of still lives instead.

If you can spare the time to help out a first year art student with some critique, please drop by my channel and leave some thoughts :)

[firuinthehouse]

I love the edges on this one, nice and sharp :)

If you don't mind mentioning, how much do you sell these paintings for?
