amazing painting. I really like the tones and the contrast. The deep blue colours that blend with the sky are nice.

heh,well,it really takes some time,i was also dissapointed from my first tries but i like acrylics so much that i insisted on it,so i think you have to fail many many times to say that they dont do for you

Zicknovitch In reply to ManthosLappas [2008-09-11 22:08:23 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i guess so
actually i was horrible with brushes at all xD
but i improved with gouache

i need to try more stuff with the acrylics and i need to try water colours, i like how they look

ManthosLappas In reply to Zicknovitch [2008-09-11 22:20:40 +0000 UTC]

Water colours are so beautiful and give such a nice and soft feeling...i think you can combine all those technices and the result will be nice,i used to combine all of these to give some various textures and feeling,really works!

Zicknovitch In reply to ManthosLappas [2008-09-11 22:31:19 +0000 UTC]

oh yeah
it pisses me off when some artists put like:
"Technique: Mixed"
i'm like "nooo!! why they can't say all the mixed techniques??"
xD

Zicknovitch In reply to ManthosLappas [2008-09-11 22:44:36 +0000 UTC]

xD
and helps a lot!
but thinking about it, with photoshop is the same problem, there is so much techniques that you must be a little experient to have an idea on how to work.
