Generally speaking, that's not all that bad. But some details seem unruly. You rarely see a white sky with bow-like lines. There are many things that could be improved, there always are, but for me, the most important is the sky: if it had a little more space above (I know it doesn't) and was...

Personally, I was brought up to pride in my effort, not the results or anyone else's praise. That's how I see it: I do not care whatever happens after I no longer am. I will no longer be, so what's the issue? I do not care if others know my work or not, I do it for myself, to know I can do it...

Nice. Love it.

By the way, they had a gorgeous tin pocket set by Roman Szmal with integrated water bottle, palette, etc. similar to those of Winsor and Newton or Horadam; pricewise too, which saved me from getting one, it was so neat, so tempting, so pretty, so handy... my mouth's still watering. Must be a...

Not bought. Went to one of my custom physical shops to get a Roman Szmal Aquarius watercolor starter set (the one with five full godets, love it for pocket carry) but they were sold out. Thankfully I still have some left. Not much saved anyway (runs for 10-15€).

On that you are absolutely right, and no criticism was intended. We all have our pet peeves and preferences, and that is probably why there are so many cameras out there, even discounting amateurs: one just needs only to look around to see each professional has a different one, which reflects on...

I find memories misleading. One often idealizes past experiences, specially good ones. That is enough for someone to evoke fond reminiscences of their camera one decade back and mythify it. Now all you need is that the guy/gal be an influencer for all followers to also get a mythical belief in...

I like better your painted version than the picture.

Looks pretty good to me. Fantastic reproduction.

You demonstrate a really good command of anatomy. Can't wait to see the completed result!

That looks rather good. I specially like the foam in the waves and the sand. Love the color gradations. Well done!

Looks like it must have been! Music and a bunch of similar-minded colleagues!

Actually, if you've followed the forums for a while, you'll have seen some cross-posts to more than one sub-forum where something would appropriately fit in several. Not being a moderator, do not take my word for it, but I think that is actually expected and probably welcome. As for the...

You are right. And it makes me sad to think how many people judges a book by its cover or a picture by the frame (or gallery). What it tells of us as a species is left as an exercise for the reader. ;)

Grapes, nobody said these are only for water color inspiration. Only that posts in this forum should be mainly water media based. Certainly there is nothing to prevent you from doing anything in oils and posting it in the oils forum. I uploaded the pictures in the hope they might inspire...
