The historic, partly canalized river branch of the Warnow, the small Fischerbruch, where formerly fishermen lived at and which became a real oasis right behind the medieval town wall of my hometown Rostock / Germany.
this is a really beautiful awe inspiring painting, the colours are very pretty and refreshing. I love the composition and your attention to detail when it comes to your tone, lighting, and proportion. Really exquisite piece. Also your very good at your oil painting, i tried to use oil paints for the first time the other day, lets just say we did not get along! .. so i understand a little, the work you have put into this. Very nicely done.
Thanks so much for your great comment! This piece is painted with only palette knives. But believe me, the first time I tried knives it ended that I scratched all paint off and took my brushes again, lol. But much later I tried again after I accidentally saw somebody working with them in a tutorial. After that I tried again and now I prefer them instead of brushes! So it is completely normal that your first oil painting didn't turn out the way you would have liked. Don't give up! Try to watch other people using oil paints (tutorials on YouTube or in a painting class maybe?). But you are right, there is always a lot of work (and paint!) in such pictures no matter how experienced you are. Oil paints are my fav medium along with pastels.
