Great work!
I wonder how many layers of paint you normally use? For example that red background; Is it painted wet-on-wet, or do you let it dry before putting next color on it? It looks really good.

Trial and Error will help you improve.
Don't be intimidated by the paint.
Value is more important than colour (IMHO).
Look at your reference more than your canvas.
Use the largest brush possible.
Hope this helps.

lovely portrait, the red subdues the girl and makes for an interesting contrast that I get in to.

this is really great. I especially like the arms. i really admire all of your work. What art school did you go to, if any? Im a junior looking at schools, and am really curious were such great talent got its start.

I went to Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. It was an illustration program, not a fine art program. However, a few of us decided to pursue a painting rather than illustrating careeer before graduation.

The colors are so great. It's a lot like those medieval artists who made the women have skin as white as milk contrasted on a red background. Love it!

I bought some canvases today. 40x60 and 50x70, pluss a small one for some minor things.
I kinda don't have any ideas or inspiration on what to paint.

I've never tried to paint on a big canvas, so I figured it was worth a shot.
I'm don't have to much experience with painting, so there is alot I've never tried to paint before. I have some in my gallery here, though. *hints* haha just kidding about the hinting 
And keep painting forever
