Description
40x19, acyrlic on wood.Was hell to paint since I didn;t know you had to prime the wood so the paint won't soak in. Overall it isn't too bad aside from the awful clouds, but it was a good learning experience.
Painted using only shades of red.
I actually didn't totally waste my vacation!

Never think of anything as a waste of time, because 99.9% of the time it won't be a waste of time, if you learn something its worth it. I have one piece of advice, which someone very wise gave to me: always be observant everyday and of everything you do. I constantly think as i look around how i would paint this and how i would paint that. i wil observe a tree and think about how to paint the bark, or look at some fabric on the table how would you paint the colours it holds and the texture. Your painting is very well done but i have one issue, the straps going over chest, i assume either they would follow the curves of her body: in which case they should have shading along the strap, or because of the size of her cest they simply go straight (as you have drawn them) from the top of the garment to her shoulder, in this case they would cast a shadow. All i am saying is you have the skills, you just need to observe more carefully. if you are painting from imagination, (which i think is extremely difficult and i have not really attempted it)then you need to study in real life what you wish to paint from imagination so to speak. The studying will allow your painting to come to life because you know wat it would look like in real life, sorry i am rubbish at explaining i hope you understand what i am saying. if you are painting from life then the best advice is written above, be observant!
Anyway, you are most deffinitely improving!

Lol, I wasted a fair part of it, but at least I was somewhat productive lol. In a way painting is harder, but it's more relaxing than drawing. I shall continue indeed, and thanks for the encouragement

very well done.
(quick trick: if you don't have regular primer use hairspray. it takes a bit longer to dry because you need to wait for the smell to dissipate some, but it works!)
