This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

That's not a "Bob Ross" painting, that's a "You" painting. You did that and you should be proud!

Exactly what I wanted to make sure someone commented when I loaded the thread after seeing the pic.

Was it as easy as he makes it look?

[–] FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes and no, there is technique (especially with the snow on the mountains using a knife) but Ross's attitude of there's no such thing as a mistake makes it easier

I wanted to follow along so badly when I was a kid, but my mom never had the money for an oil paint set, canvases, and brushes. I suppose I could try now. Your painting looks great BTW!

Look at all those happy little trees! This is stunning OP

[–] FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I wish I was good paint, like you clearly are.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I love the colors. That's really impressive and a beautiful piece.

[–] CaptainAmeristan@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

So crisp! Great work :)

[–] machinaeZER0@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Really lovely, nice work!

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Looks fantastic! That's a hanger for sure.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Very nice! Deserves a repost hung against a blank background!

This is great, I really have to dig out my painting supplies I ordered a few years ago. I started with acryl so I practice a bit before switching to oil, then RL happened and between "no time" and "I need better lightning" / "research about safe non toxic paint cleaner" I kinda forgot about it.

Do you have any modern guides with "just get this and don't overthink it" that you can recommend? With a kid at home I don't really wanna stress too much about toxic paint etc.

Keep painting πŸ‘πŸ‘Œ

Toxic oil paint is caused by the heavy metals in the pigment like cadmium, cobalt, and lead. Linseed oil works as a good paint thinner and good old soap and water to clean the brushes
