This is my second painting ever... My Landscape..

Kaye

Believed it or not, I never painted before have no idea about mixing the colors or draw. but I always have a dream to paint the beautiful landscape. I start the first painting with a still life so I get familial the colors and penciling. And here it is my second painting, "South Point, Big Island, Hawaii".

Kaye I've been trying sooooo hard to paint a landscape like yours and have failed so many times. You nailed it the first time. It's one of the best seascapes I've ever seen! I am so impressed! Wish I lived in Hawaii so I could take lessons from you! It's just gorgeous. Congratulations!

Thank you Wendy, Welcome to the forum

valentin

Fantastic painting Kaye.I would feel a bit scared to start something like that.

Kaye

Thank you Valentin, please don't be scared. Just take your time follow Mark's steps. Check the colors and mix them what you see step by step, color group by color group, section by section and sit back relax enjoy painting

Kaye

This is a fabulous piece of work.

BTW did you see the profile of a head/face in the rocks?

I suggest that the rocks on the foreground RHS should be a tad more sharply defined (more light and shade) in keeping with the atmospheric perspective.

Vangie

Truly amazing, Kaye!
There's still hope for me...

Kaye

Thank you Vangie, yes..you can do it

garrykravit

Okay, I just looked at this again. Dude, are you an alien? I mean this is incredible. No human could do this so well so quickly. Astounding.

Kaye's a good photographer and a hard worker. Add some painting lessons in and this is what you get!

myc

Still in awe!!! :-O

Kaye

Thanks guys. Please keep at it and enjoy painting

Savannah

Totally agree with tjs...can I take lessons from you?....OH...this is gorgeous!

Jonny

Hi Kaye, I can look at this for ages, it is fantastic. The water is stunning!

Kaye

Thank you Savannah and Jonny.. At frist I was so afraid to paint the ocean. I didn't know how to start and then Mark gave me an advised;
" Kaye don't look at like the ocean..look at like a bunch of colors.. Mix all colors that you see and then put it on the right place..After that the ocean will come. "

Allen

Hi Kaye, your painting has a wonderful sense of mass and volume, evidenced in both the rock faces and the quality of the water. The composition is very powerful and dynamic; the diagonal composition adds to the power of the surf crashing against the cliffs. The diminutive size of the wind mills in the distance add to the shear massiveness and scale of the rock faces as they thrust into the ocean. Your color usage is very nice and the work is very nicely executed.

I am in awe of your talent beings this is only your second painting! A superb work! Would I hang this in my living room? The answer is yes! And proudly!

Vangie

Allen, have you seen Kaye's 1st painting? Truly awesome...

Thank you for providing the link to Kaye's first work, Vangie. A very nicely done still life!

Sometimes greens can be a hard color to deal with, but Kaye has done an exceptional job at differentiating the cold from the warm greens. A very lively painting color wise, and from the standpoint of the composition. The way the small red glass vial becomes the focal point due to the its being complementary to the yellow-greens and blue-greens aids of the objects and background makes this a very powerful artwork.

I especially like the nuanced color notes contained within the reflections evident on the table's surface -the warm greens on the right as they modulate toward a cooler green range on the left.

Magnificent work, Kaye! With each painting you complete, you are making marked progress. You've raised the bar for all of us, Kaye. Kudos!

Kaye

Thank you again Allen and Vangie

I am blown away by this landscape. Just bought the video on still life and hope to start it next week so my painting will improve. I need to paint like that!

Gary

Congratulations Kaye on making the front page!! Well deserved!
