Ahh, I suck at painting, but this was an assignment in my Design class so I risked failness.
My own interpretation of what a Polish movie poster of "The Shining" would look like.

i absolutely love it. its so simple yet striking, and for me, it really captures the feel of the film / book.
its impressive, seeing as you "suck at painting" (;

Uh, I don't really know because my Mom won't let me use oil paint in the house (I'm accident prone and it takes ages to dry).
Try going to your local art store and talking to someone there. I find that when I'm stuck on materials, a chat with my local always seems to help. x]

For my studio mid-term I had to do a landscape painting, and I used another painting as a reference Tehe
I put my own mix to it though so I was only copying it to an extent. (I totally redid the whole sky)

By the way it looks a million times better in real life.

Thanks so much! Actually it's supposed to be "the formation of Earth" or something like that haha. It's up to your own interpretation...worked so hard on it though.
I appreciate the comments =)

It's three of a range called 'Emotion'. There are another two, but they are still tacky.

A 1900's french can can dancer that I painted yesterday for my art class.
My scanner is the scanner from hell, and the red lining her dress is supposed to be a lot darker than the way it came out.

Just finished this a couple of days ago.

I'm thinking of changing the colors of the flying umbrellas around. Especially the orange one in the front. Opinions?

thanks i like yours too, i think you should change the intensity of the orange, but not the actual color. Make it bold

Hmm well if I make it more bold, darker perhaps, it might not fit in with the rest of the painting, you know?
I actually don't like it orange at all, it was supposed to be gold x]
