Try practicing the stuff that creates contrast, line, color, value, focus, rythm etc. it might help

i wanted it to be quite loose but to focus in on the two elements- the dude and the main machinery bit

14 Jan 07:23

and bottom right is a mix of a 90% darkness blue and a 80% darkness blue

14 Jan 07:23

i added textures deliberately to try to give some grit to the piece

14 Jan 07:22

zooming in helps a bit, so it might be not enough simplification or definition, btw, is that color I see in the bottom right pure black? or almost pure black

14 Jan 07:20

I'm trying to think what's wrong with the machinery in the background, the brushtrokes feel dirty, uhh I don't have the vocabulary in english

14 Jan 07:17

iwll see what i can do next time i do snow scene and do some studies thanks for that. apart from that is ther anything else i did wrong?

14 Jan 07:16

bugger ok, i tried browns but it just didnt work out...

14 Jan 07:16

or something that doesn't feel that black

14 Jan 07:16

yeah

14 Jan 07:14

or do you think i should have done the rocks a dark brown?

14 Jan 07:13

the vignette i put on it?

14 Jan 07:13

the black?

14 Jan 07:09

looks great, but I feel like the black kills your colors

i like picasso...

14 Jan 06:32

well, I have to study, nice talk

14 Jan 06:27

I often talk to friends about how if you want to be a rich modern artist, it's not about what you make, it's about what you are, I can't explain that here because I could get banned or something haha

ive always liked drawing and seen that as the basic form of art. and then there were these people who were into art but they didnt draw and werent interested in learning it, so they do stuff like glue toilet seats to kitchen cabnets, spray-paint it black and then sell it to some art collector for thousands of dollars

14 Jan 06:16

yea i hate being cynical like this but thats how i kind of see most people who go the fine arts/ modern art route

14 Jan 06:09

90% of the people who say they like picasso or art in general just like the concept being ''a guy who is into art''

14 Jan 06:07

i searched it but its like 2 paintings that arnt cubism. but yea its subjective . i want to like picasso, i just dont know how to lol

14 Jan 05:58

What I'm trying to say is, it's all personal, in the end, it's called art for something, it appeals some people but doesn't mean anything to others

14 Jan 05:55

If you are looking for high level technique, search for pre-cubist picasso

14 Jan 05:54

I don't care about tizian, he has 2 paintings I love but that's it

14 Jan 05:52

i look at picasso's stuff and i just dont get the appeal. I dont like the design or the colors or anything about it lol

14 Jan 05:49
