My Painting Journey: From Pencils to Oil and Beyond

Illustration of my artistic journey as a learner, sharing my latest paintings in oil, acrylic, and watercolor. This includes personal achievements such as a first oil painting attempt, a watercolor set, and continuous learning through painting classes and references from Pinterest.

Exploring Oil Painting

As my first attempt with oil painting this month, I challenged myself to recreate a digital illustration of One Piece characters Luffy, Ace, and Sabo. This effort, though not without its shortcomings, is a significant step in my artistic growth. If you are interested in the authoritative tutorial, an Ebook is available for purchase on the Artistory Guide.

Acrylic Paintings

Recent acrylic on canvas pieces are a testament to my gradual progress in art. These paintings, completed over the course of the past few nights, showcase the versatility of acrylic mediums. Despite the initial challenges, I have come to appreciate the vibrant and immediate results that acrylics offer. Any art enthusiasts interested in a method that quickly translates ideas into tangible visuals should consider acrylics.

Watercolor Paintings

My exploration of watercolor painting led to a series of intricate designs. Last night, I composed these watercolors on paper, a process that reminded me of the organic flow and unpredictability of water-based media. A Watercolor World tutorial book, highly recommended for beginners, is available for further guidance. Before this, I had taken a break from painting for four months, and the renewed enthusiasm is palpable.

Supplementary Learning Resources

Learning through hands-on experience and online resources has become a vital part of my artistic journey. Pinterest, in particular, has been an invaluable resource for finding references and inspiration. For those interested in diving deeper, a comprehensive Ebook on oil painting on the Painting Guides website can improve your technique and confidence in painting.
