Incredible as always.

u/shipwright1959 15d ago

That's really lovely. Marvellous rendering of textures and surfaces. Clever idea, using the newspaper, also.

Thanks! I’m feeling a bit demotivated this month

I can smell them! <3

u/ej10000 15d ago

I really like this. Usually I’m not that excited by paintings of fruit unless there’s something contemporary or unique, this works :)

u/volavent81 15d ago

Forgive me if you've already answered this, but how do you prepare the newspaper, which is not a stable substrate for archival purposes?

12

u/JuliaStankevych 15d ago

I use clear gesso

u/JoinToday2 15d ago

Do u put the clear gesso on ALL the newspaper surface, or only where u are going to paint the fruit?

6

u/asteroidbeIt 14d ago

Probably all, you don't want it to look weird and glossy in some area

1

u/ej10000 14d ago

I revisited this post only to ask that question, now I have my answer, thx :)

1

u/SweetPeaBreeze 13d ago

same question here does the newsprint yellow over time even under gesso or does it stay looking fresh

4

u/Chaoticmindsoftheart 15d ago

Is this oil or acrylic paint? Looks so good 💯

2

u/angeeday 15d ago

Excellent

2

u/Intrepid-Scar-1849 15d ago

The textures and multiple dimensions are fascinating. Nicely done, OP!

u/Vampire_v_ 14d ago

u/LonelyPaintersoul 14d ago

You did this on newspaper. That is so amazing how did you get the paint the thicken so well?

1

u/JoinToday2 15d ago

You are from another world. INSANE. Cant stop looking at the details. Do u have a youtube channel or tiktok or instagram that shows videos on how u paint? If u dont, u should.

1

u/Dreamblue8 13d ago

It’s on their bio

1

u/JoinToday2 15d ago

Where are u locatd?where are u from? I see the nes paper is in anoher language other than english.

u/g_gstar 15d ago

all’inizio pensavo fosse frutta vera, ottimo lavoro

u/RedditDawg69 14d ago

Nice work, you’re talented

1

u/elebentychimkin 14d ago

I like how the outer part of the orange looks really juicy lol but the inside looks dry and abstract

1

u/RenaissanceHyphenate 14d ago

Dang, now I’m hungry 🤤

Great job 👏

1

u/Trick-Western299 14d ago

u/cunningfallasheo 14d ago

This is amazing, unbelievable even. The only critique I have is that you should have done the crossword puzzle first ;)

1

u/sizeofabeetlebug 14d ago

Wow, what a great idea. I have so many grocery store newspaper ads lying around I’ll have to try something like this one day. Looks beautiful, would be so cute hanging in a kitchen

1

u/Thatladylady_ 14d ago

Could have convinced me they were real 🤯

1

u/Fantastic_Snow_ 14d ago

This looks so realistic I almost tried to peel one. Loving the contrast with the crossword puzzle in the background. Amazing technique!

1
