Thankyou for taking us along on this painting Very brave. None of my suggestions were given in a bad way Just sharing some of the pitfalls I have encountered during my drawing journeys
Hi Vida ~ I REALLY liked this video! I am only in the beginning stages of finding my "style" but I did figure out one mantra: you are either really good at realism or it just looks stupid! I love it when you can put a dab of paint just there and give the illusion of a realistic item. I did do a painting of 2 pistachios in a realism way, but I worked and reworked and reworked, to the point of no enjoyment. And to me, that is not what art is about! Thank you for filming "what's not for you"!
I loved this comment and did a whole morning musings about it! I used to think if I wasn't good at it, then I should do something else. Then, I had the crazy idea to learn how to paint a landscape. I thought that if I could successfully paint a landscape then I'd be able to paint anything. I was terrible at it at first, then I got better and better and now I feel as if landscapes are my calling. Thanks so much for commenting. It brought some clarity to my mind.
I did this type of challenge with a donkey. Wow, did it turn out bad. I am somewhere in the middle of loose and detailed. The longer I work on it, the more detailed it gets. I use a grid for portraits. I think I need to keep moving away from realism. Thank you for this video.
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I do enjoy loose brushstrokes next to fine detail. I love the wool next to the detailed eye. Loose and thick palette knife work and fine detail where needed. I do understand your preference as I am naturally in the same place.
One of the other problems I have encountered is Printers that “fit the image to a size” Un check this feature and keep it to original size When the printer shrinks it can shorten the legs or change the body Not noticed on a landscape But you sure see it on animals or people
😂 oh you’re funny! Actually no, I did them right in the easel with a grid and measuring. I need more practice and I’m pretty sure I’ll begin to see things more precisely. At least I hope so!
I have come to believe what some others have expounded; that our brains lie to us. Our brain prioritizes things such as eyes or buildings and trees and we tend to make them larger or more prominent than they may actually be. I can draw a face with effort but my figure drawing is crap and my hands are still very deformed, every time! 😂

I am always in awe of you.
Oh please don’t be! I cannot hold up to something like that 🥰

Thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts. It makes risk taking worth while.

Oh how sweet! Let me know if you have any questions! And if you want to learn something let me know here. If I can help I'll do a video on it.

Oh interesting… I’ll keep this in the back of my mind for when I print out images.
If you split the face down the centre
Either one is correct
They are both not quite the same scale
Yep…neither side quite right. I chose the left side to fix. Works much better now.
Did you do your drawing flat on the table
Sometimes that can skew the proportions( ask me how I know that!😂)
