Hey all, I've done a lot of pencil art, and painted with watercolor and acrylic paint, so this time I wanted to try out oil painting for a change. So my first experience with oil painting, it feels a lot different than watercolor or acrylic.

So anyways, here's my first piece, I drew a photo I found in some magazine. Hope you like it, and I'm open to any suggestions and critiques.

Very nice. However, is the apparent 'fuzziness' intentional?

Wtf, that's awesome. Great work, sometimes I wish I could draw/paint like that.

Haha, I see. I recommend you try making a 'masterpiece,' as in a large oil painting on canvas several feet wide (no joke). It would look nice if it was on something similar to what you just created.

Ty for the compliments ^^

Does anyone else have oil painting experience and could give me tips on how to texture water? All I did was draw the reflection and smudge it horizontally. It doesn't look right.

Oh wow - I honestly didn't expect something so pretty when I opened the thread. TL never fails to surprise.

Please continue to post more if you get a chance and we can all have the pleasure of watching you develop and get (even) better. Radness.

I suggest you take a better picture. Better lightnings. or use a flash, make sure you don't shake, and keep trying until you get a good one because honestly I don't know how your picture actually looks like. I mean it will look a lot better and judging it based on this picture isn't fair. A 4 megapixel camera should be able to take sharp pictures. It's the sharpness that's the problem not the resolution.

Would be nice to upload the original too so we could compare, if you plan was to make an as close as possible copy of the picture.

Nice work! I immediately see some errors, but thats because I have an eye for buildings.

Garage door area (the arches, not sure if its a garage or whatever), second level of the house, stuff like that isn't consistant. O

Still, way better than me, so very nice work!

Most boats don't care about dock size anyway.

It's not the length of the dock, it's the quality of the wood.
