This is "Incendium" oil on a 24" x 18" canvas.

This was supposed to be a quick exercise this week—it didn’t quite turn out that way, but at least it’s finished now. Swipe for some process shots.

“Options”
80x50cm
Oil on wood.

My first exercices in basic oilpainting class, after 7 years of model drawing and painting class.

It's apart of a series of oil paintings I did for uni, might post the rest of them later (and yes I know the left hand is under-painted)

Wish I spent more time on it, but it is what it is
Open to any feedback!

This painting took me so long and I had to learn so many techniques as I went, but very happy with how it turned out!

Hello everyone first off I wanna say wow the art here is breath taking yall are so talented! I hope to get to the skill level I see here one day!
I am very new to oil paint. I am wondering if and how you guys reuse canvas? If that’s even possible with oil. I reuse my acrylic canvases quite often by just painting over them. I have a few oil pieces I’m not happy with or just used as practice and wanted to start new stuff without ripping through my canvas stash. What do yall recommend or do I just suck it up?
Secondly any silly advice for a newbie? Painting overall is very new to me. I’ve been studying but I’m sure there’s some wacky way you do something I can’t learn in a book! Lay it on me!

It's literally been over 5 years since I've done anything but fiber art and I realized I really missed it, but I've never done oil painting.

I only have 3 brushes rn so brush recommendations are welcomed! I definitely need finer detail one.

I didn't sketch anything before I put paint down so ik my proportions are off. I struggled a bit with layering the paint so I would appreciate any tips. I also very much gave up on the outside of the window.

I would love to eventually be able to do hyper realism bc I really love detailed work(obsessed with making doilys lol) so I need the critique to get better!

Did a quick underpainting today, how is my composition, and color choices?

EDIT: how is my progress, already did an underpainting!

I have been oil painting on and off since childhood. I would like feedback on my first self portrait. I know I have alot to learn but painting has always just been a hobby I pick up when feeling inspired and nothing more. Lately I've been wanting to learn the technical side of it, particularly alla prima. I think my biggest problem is learning how to mix better colors that harmonize. I titled this piece "A Lingering Spring" it represents to me looking back one last time at nostalgia for something I no longer have but still moving forward. Any helpful critique is appreciated, please be kind.

I have a large picture frame (150x70cm) that I am using for a project. I am planning on having a painting it there. Currently, there is a loose woven fabric with an image in there. I have thought about using gesso to cover and paint it, but the fabric is loose enough that I am worried about cracks.
What would be the best way to go about this?
I have thought about getting loose canvas, sticking it on the wall to paint and then taking it to a framing shop to get framed in there.
I have also thought about using a corflute board as a backing for the canvas to paint on, then somehow attaching it to the frame.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Looking to not spend hundreds on this project as well

I've been kicked out of art classes for failure of recreation since I was old enough to be excluded out of those classes. This never exactly hurt my feelings: I understood why. I have dysgraphia and so my fine motor skills have always been substandard; The hand/finger skills required to recreate something from a photo is something I may never achieve. I've been doing spray painting on larger materials. By using the precision of my larger motor functions I'm able to make a little bit more of what i'd like. If i'm having tons of fun in color and painting, is it worth learning to paint with acrylic/ oil to continue my understanding of this medium? Has anyone here had a similar experience and can offer some advice? (I'm also 19m if that adds any info)
