These are two paintings recently done since starting the online course. Paired images have photo reference on right, my oil rendering on left. Also oil paintings of urn and bowl close up.

Better picture perhaps...maybe not. Will figure out how to upload sharp pictures.

:-O Run that by me again. . . . . . . . the reference is on the left? . . . . . no, wait!. . . . . you said on the right, Right? :-??

Reference on right with blue tag on bowl pic. On urn pic you can clearly see photo white edge on right.

Sorry Mitzi, you don't know me just yet

but this is my way of telling you these paintings are so AWESOME that I wouldn't be able to tell which is which if it wasn't because of those details you just mentioned.

If you don't mind my asking:

1-How long did you work on each?

And

2-Can you give us any info on your background or are these your very firsts?

Castillo - took about 12 hours for each painting after mixing color groups. First picked up oil brush this past March in a church art class. Needed better info and found Mark's DMP videos. Portfolio so far: 3 paintings self-guided by videos and 2 paintings since I started online course last week. Was delayed as I was in Greece taking source pictures of artifacts and sceneries. Greece series forthcoming. It's amazing how Mark's method works so well!!!
