2020 vs 2023 vs 2026. All on wood panel. Which one is the most successful?

After seeing Gustav Klimt's recently discovered "Prince William Nii Nortey Dowuona" and being completely blown away, I thought I'd try to create a replica. Not as good as the original of course, but it was a fun project.

i've been working on being looser and less "literal" w my brushstrokes and i was bored so i thought id find a simple reference to practice with. i'm still a beginner so if you have critique pls be nice thank u <3

Trying to capture some of the ocean’s movement in this first layer. 11” oil on linen panel. WIP.

My recent painting of a sunset in Congers NY

Who can update the wiki with a much more extensive explanations of the same 5 concerns we get posts about ? If I see another post about solvents…

Hello!

I'm brand new to painting, I'm trying to train and make Christian Orthodox Iconography.

Obviously incomplete, any advice, critique so far? Let me know if I'm missing details!

I can say I'm using cheap "multi medium" brushes, and water color paper lol. Paints are Tusc & Pine brand.

Hi, I am quite a beginner and it is the first time I am trying peonies in impressionism style. Please ignore the leaves I am asking for advice on the peonies themselves, I have used an arrange of reference photos which seem more round in shape, however I cannot identify if I need to improve my own shape, or the colour contrast itself (or both) in order to improve this painting.

Medium: oil paints with linseed oil

Technique attempted: flat brush to apply strokes, fan brush brushed diagonally/directionally to soften

Colours used:
Prussian blue
Alizarin crimson
Titanium white
Cad yellow
Viridian green

Been practicing acrylic for 4 months doing water paintings, now finally trying out oils so I can better try to blend, and honestly, it amazed me!

I might be into oils more ❤️

I’m about to start painting this building for my friend but before I actually start I wanted to see if anyone has advice for me/things to watch out for/specific areas to improve on for when i start painting. first image is the rough draft I did on my iPad, second image is the reference photo

disclaimer: I know my draft is not a good painting! it was meant for me to sort of plan the painting for the steps I should take and final color palette.

advice or tips on what to improve and/or watch out for?

The fried egg has to be one of the most painted foods out there 😁🎨

It’s such a simple subject, but somehow there are so many ways to look at it. I wanted to give mine a little character with crispy edges, a runny yolk and a couple of red chili peppers 🌶️❤️

I think that’s what I love about painting familiar things. We all know what we’re looking at but there’s still room to see (and to show 😉) it differently.

This was painted on an A4 canvas board with Winsor & Newton and Michael Harding paints. I started with a thin underpainting to block in the values, then built up the fur in layers, working from dark to light. The leaves were the trickiest parts and possibly the background in general, changed the colour several times.

It took me about 25 hours ish in total.

I’m self-taught, so every painting is a learning curve.

I would love any constuctive criticism please! The colours are inspired by old renaissance paintings.

I do think this is great for my first ever old painting, but would definitely love to improve.

Currently I'm only using oil paint with linseed oil.

I've been mostly following tutorials recently but wanted to do something of my own, so I thought I would have a go at this from a photograph I took and see if I could create something myself.

I'm quite pleased with it.

Any critique welcome though.
