Can someone explain why are there so many accounts that ask to purchase a physical painting, but then goes on rambling about NFTs and how it'll be beneficial for the artist?

Recently I saw one rather scenic image - total eclipse that has turned the world black and white. While I am still working on it, I noticed the rather stark contrast between the artwork in the making and the beutiful colors of my colour palette.

Painting has shown me how quickly skills can improve if you practice something regurarly, currently I think I am well over 5000 hour mark in painting with oil, however the feeling that the paintings would be good enough for selling hasn't been yet reached.

What to trust - the feedback that I have gotten from people who have seen my work or my gut feeling?

Since I have started painting I have discovered the importance of having a sketch before starting to paint. While it is not a requirement for creating quality paintings it helps to visaulize the idea and work within the proportions that look the best.

What has been an overlooked process element that now is a routine for you but was overlooked when you first started?

Does heat kills your creativity?

The hot weather that I am expriencing at my home country lately have scortched my creativity so far that creating and optimizing business website has been the only option left for productive days work.

‼️ The website is still in the process of being optimized. ‼️

Uh, attempting to make a video is much more challenging than I have ever thought!

It is the first-ever video that I have filmed and now editing, at first the phisycal execution of building a giant stretched canvas would be the challange,but it seems that the video editing is! I have a new found appreciation for the professionals in the field. 🙌

Have you tried creating variety of paintings by size?

As an artist I like to work with average to big sized canvas, but my friend a while ago gifted me this tiny - 6x8cm - canvas. It even snuggly fits into my palm!
It was a real challange to paint it (tried 3 different compositions), but now it is a nice keepsake.

This is the first hanging system for paintings I have tried. It works nicely on stretched canvas paintings as a sturdy yet affordable hanger. I am aiming to try other hanging systems in the future,if you have any advice, please, let me know. 🙂

A fun recent discovery - it turns out that if a paint brushes are used frequently for oil painting they can be nicely cleaned with the regular sunflower oil that you can get from your local store!
The process of cleaning oil paint out of brushes can become slightly messy, but it yields good results and the used oil can be reused for many brush cleaning rounds. 😉
