My 5th Painting in Progress

Here's the current painting I'm doing...kind of a continuation from the last. Though whilst the last one was following a tutorial this one is straight from my head.
Anyways, I'm not sure if I can call it done or if it needs a bit more. I'm thinking of adding some trees or something either side of the water fall and maybe some more rocks.
I also thought of a fallen log half in the water but I'm sure I heard somewhere that people don't like dead things in their paintings (or is that just animals), tell me what you think it needs (or doesn't need).

MS Paint Magic - I love this stuff!

Drawing Day 08 drawing

Well here's my contribution to Drawing Day 08, a really quick scetch I know but still within the boundaries of the concept.

It's an image I've had floating around in my head for last couple of days that I want to paint, so expect to see a painting that's something like this in the next week or so.

Cheers.

Drawing Day 08

I just came across this while surfing other's blogs, Drwaing Day 08, today 7th June 2008.
What a cool concept, the idea is for people all over the world to all draw on one day and then share their drawings online.
Coincidentally I had planned on doing a drawing today for the first time in years to prep for a painting I've got planned so I'll bit starting that in a minute.
Be sure to check out Drawing Day 08 here and be sure to get involved.
Cheers

My Fourth Painting

OK so I took the plunge and converted to oil paints. I had been somewhat reluctant until now because the first time I tried oils about 20 years ago I could understand why the paint hadn't dried after three days.

Of course now I know it takes up to 2 weeks to dry.

Anyways, here's my fourth painting, or the next in my "learn to paint" series. I'm quite pleased with the results and I think it's definitely the best I've done so far. I would even go so far as to say I would be willing to accept an offer for this one should anyone want to buy it.

I chose this painting to do because it only uses three colours (white, brown and blue) so I figured it would keep my expenditure down.

I was happy enough with the result that I started another one the next day in the same style but this time painting an image from my head rather than following a tutorial. I've almost finished it and will have a pic posted in the next day or two.

Once again feel free to comment on my painting...cheers.
