Real Life Painting

Mon 10th Dec, 2007

I love my OMM picture that much (bottlebrush sunset) that i decided to do a real painting of it. (not that digital art isn't real) The painting is 80cm by 80cm, and is very far from finished. Hope you like it so far, i need my fellow artists help and advice because i dont have my art classes anymore for this :(

The photo quality is a bit bad, the painting looks a bit different for real!

What i miss most about OMM

-being able to pick density

-undo

-playback feature!

cheers, shanny.

Hi Mark, so far i have just used acrylics. I think it also looks brighter because of the contrasting. So far I haven't used anything for texture, and im not sure if i should chuck in some impasto or modelling compound, or something else. What do u guys think?

Hey Shanna, fantastic painting, I love the colours you use on all your pictures. What did you use for the painting was it acrylics or oils as the colours are so bright? I must have a go sometime at painting in the 'real world' as so far all my stuff is on the OMM. Have a great Christmas. All the best Mark

I love this! The style of your square was perfect to be translated into paint. It's so fun to see OMM spreading into the non-digital world too!

You've inspired me to start a new project- have a look at my bulletin and see what you think!
