Yellow Oil Paint

When out of inspiration for painting ideas there is always your work space, always full with colorful, messy things. Like this for example:

"Yellow" oil on canvas 8x8 inch

 My yellow paint although almost empty is now a superstar, and so my dirty palette knife. And I really enjoyed making this painting.
Have a great day everyone!

Still Life With Jars

I found it very hard to keep a loose brushwork because I love blending so much. Let me say that again: I just love blending colors.
So I tried this still life with some glass reflections thinking it will be easier. Occasionally I pulled some of my hair out and resisted about three attempts to wipe it out in frustration. In the end I'm quite happy with it.
As about the brushwork this is the best I can do so far. I'll look back at this painting after some hundred paintings down the road and decide how good it is.

There is a bit of glare in the photo since the painting is still wet but you get the idea.
I would love to hear your opinions or even some constructive critique so please don't hesitate to comment bellow.
Have a great weekend!

Already September

A small oil painting I started yesterday but only today I managed to finish. I named it "Already September" as the perfect remainder that summer is already gone.
The reference photo was provided by Viacheslav from PMP site.

First Post and the First Painting

My first post in a shinny new blog is bound to be an awkward one I guess, but let just get this party going and it will get easier.

I will start with a first painting in the new, painterly style I am trying to learn. I did it yesterday after I finished reading "The Painterly Approach" which is still open in my Kindle reader. Yet I already feel like I need to re-read the book from the beginning.

"Quick Breakfast" oil on canvas 6x8 inch

I'm not sure what I feel about this work. Not being my usual style of painting is hard to consider it objectively. Is true that I picked a still life with a very hard light; in fact the objects were sitting right in the sunlight when I took the shot. But somehow in the photo I liked the light; not so much in the painting.

So, for what is worth this is my first painterly work. Since I'm all set to "master" this approach probably there will be more to follow, and it will be more obvious for me if a work is on the right track or not.

You are more than welcome to leave your opinion in the comments and why not? even some constructive criticism.
Have a great day and see you soon!
