someone paid me $700 for this oil painting commission. It took a month. If i could do one of these per month I wouldn't have to worry about rent again.

Nice signature initials.

Also nice painting. Maybe take commissions to do personal paintings of ppls family members and such?

I've done several ocean paintings...I don't really think about anything so much as I try to get the reflection of light on the waves to look correct

this picture would be 10x better if you incorporated the light of the environment. Where shadows face the sky, a soft blue should be present. Where the shadowed planes face the ocean or the sand, respective hues should appear. Skin tones should carry a glow. Shading with black is a nono.

Do they have downs or something?

The scene genuinely looks like they are taking their disabled son on a walk, which if thats the case good job

Their son does have downs syndrome, that is correct

CP is an unfortunate set of initials... Don't sign your art with that

Use more colors, it looks kind of muddy with just an abundance of different values.

is your main problem getting clients or just being too retarded to finish in a timely manner?

>>2915867
Good for you. I've seen better painters take less, and I've seen worse painters take more.

No way that I'd pay $700 for that tho, but if it works for you: have fun.

>CP
seems fitting
