It's technically not 'digital', but I'd still like critiques.

This took a month to paint and was done with oil. The photo reference was something my dad shot (no copying out of magazines and such).

To show how 'loose' I was working, heres a detail shot.

Those interested in seeing a larger version of the whole thing, go here: http://gnarg.slackworks.com/MTimages/Barn1.jpg

This is my first oil painting in the past three years, and the other two times I've tried oils I was pretty young had no clue what I was doing. The barn itself is a real place that sits off a road very close to my house. The actual painting is almost four feet long (its a bit more impressive in real life than this little picture of it). Again, c&c welcomed and needed.

At the first glance on this thread I thought you were posting some photos... sweet jebus, that's pretty damn impressive! And how old you were, 16?

Sorry that I can't give any constructive crit.

Don't worry about those digital 'purists' out there

I like it a lot. How big was the actual painting?

I think its beautiful.. This forum seems to be more about Art in general, since alot of digital art has its roots in traditional media..

good work. thanx for posting it.

wow, nice one. my only crit would be on the accuracy of the tires and their treads or whatever, since it's a technical object. other than that, i really dont know what else to say. great job :]

Nice... very nice indeed. Love the way you've worked the lights and darks...

if its a jpg then it is a digital image

Cicinimo · Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2001 6:04 pm

Well it seem's nobody is greatly offended. cheers!

roundeye: Thanks!

Ripelly: Thanks

. I was 15 when I started it a month ago :-/

FireFry: hehe.. 'digital purists'. haha. The actual image is something like 24x36 (four feet was a wrong estimate)

Icannon: Hmmmm. Are the treads the wrong shape? You're right...they don't quite seem right, but I can't put my finger on it.

fleabrain: Thanks

Dryfire:

Shiro_tengu: mwahahahah. good point! *evil grin*

Very nice pic!

Yep. Love it also! Oil painting is pretty cool. just a shame that they dry "so fast". =)
crit: Some parts of the barn looks slightly "overlighted" (looks flat) OR those areas just need some detailing. anyway; thumbs up!

No, I don't think this belongs to here and it's awful shit... seriously --- no, this isn't a place to those >>setting seriousness switch to maximum>> why do you want to make me sad and depressed. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

--and by the way youngman you are too YOUNG to be here at this time. Now brush your teeth and go to bed!

you never stop to amaze me!
question( no offense) do you think you would be able to paint or draw from real life in that quality too?
Maybe I should start drawing/painting from photo reference too-sometimes it can be easier way to studie from I think.

That is a gorgeous painting Cicinimo and you are 15?!! That is unbelievable, you have incredible talent.
