How are you even meant to learn this? To the anons who do paint like this? How do you keep all the shades and colours and textures and physical shapes in your head? It just seems like an enormous mental load

>>7918700
it's easy, we have to focus to not paint like that

>>7918700
one step at a time and time is the crucial factor. paintings like these arent dished out in a day. a week maybe, depending on the size of the canvas. dont underestimate the time being spent on even the simplest of works.

Are there any traditional artists on /ic/ accepting commissions? Size of the piece would be around 8x10 inches

Don't drink the gray water? What's even the question, literally just draw. Worst case you will waste some paper, guess what that's how you learn, by wasting paint and paper.

This was drawn from life and I tried getting some detail right, but there wasnt a shadow on the plant visible I added it anyway because i thought it might look good.
I kinda messed that part up.
I'm not sure what to do with this insight set

Success breeds jealousy

How do you get better at painting large? I paint small, on shellac coated paper and I’ve become stuck in a rut of painting no bigger than 8x11. How do you attempt to get into bigger size canvases? I would eventually like to paint really large. (Although I paint in my room, which is tiny). I feel like it’s partially nervousness and a mental barrier.

>>7919328
depends on what kind of success. if you are renown for having bad art like Cumfarti, then there's nothing to be envious of.
also, learn what jealousy is.

>>7919432
You're the expert

>>7919413
>take bigger piece of paper
>paint on it

>>7919413
>How do you get better at painting large?
By using a bigger brush and standing farther from the canvas

>>7919413
Draw larger

>>7919444
Thanks! I’ll try using a bigger brush next time. I’m using tiny brushes.
>>7919452
I will try this. I never draw big, only in a tiny sketchbook.

my technique isnt as good as this guy but its really not that insane when you've learned how to break down each part of a portrait step by step and know some basic color theory. There's nothing insane about this, it looks like a lot taking in it at once but it's all built from elementary parts step by step- proportions, contour lines, underpainting, mid tones, values and texture in that order. Color used to intimidate me but it's really not hard at all if you have a decent eye and know the very easy and basic tricks like using a color wheel to pick a scheme before hand or cross pollinating your painting with one or two colors to create unity (like how in OP every color has a warm yellow in it to create unity)

>>7918730
>water colors
pick a different medium unless you enjoy pain. its unironically the most difficult and tedious medium there is to actually master.

How?

>>7919577
I don't know about tedious, but there's fuck all material to learn from, you're on your own because even fewer people on this side of 1800s can paint in watercolors than oil in the first place, let alone also bothered to write a book

>>7919576
its basicely it, when you get more experience youll see its just a step or two removed (like adding texture and color obviously)
