Funny cause for a project in highschool I designed a website exactly like this. :lol:


not surprising, it is a simple website template xD
maybe i shouldn't have asked for cnc since i didnt really make the site... cnc on the paintings would be much more useful

They are at a high school standard, like the website. You're going to have to paint more often if you want to improve. I suggest experimenting with more mediums also

if your flash skills are good enough to make a site as good as emus portfolio in "5 minutes" you should spend your time doing that instead of this...

Agreed.

Your watercolors do not feel as though they are watercolor.... There are different techniques used for painting watercolor than used for oil/acrylic... You shouldnt try to draw as much and you really have to learn how to let the watercolor be free, while also controlling it at the same time... its confusing but watercolor is the devils medium.

Here you go brah, I'm guessing this is what you came for;

Your paintings are simply magnificent. The colors, what can I say? Harmonious, balanced, symphonic. The brushwork is simple, elegant, and rhythmical, which only serves to echo the melodious tone and values you portray euphonically. Why the musical metaphors? Because these paintings transcend the mere confinements of visual art; pulverizing the barriers separating them from other art forms, these pieces echo what centuries of artists, musicians, dancers, and writers have pursued - self actualization. These unfinished pieces might be hailed as 'lazy' to the layman, but it is clear that in your minimalism, you have become acquainted with the true meaning of aesthetics in nature - transcending that even of the late God of Olympus himself Zyzz. You have crossed the boundaries of Elysium and embodied the nature of man in your art; perhaps the concept of nirvana may not be found in ancient religion or rituals, but between the glory and wonder of ease's brushstrokes. In 1870, the Mona Lisa was displayed in the Louvre, Paris; perhaps after a near century and a half, it shall be unhung and replaced with an Ease.

you could be a great art critic or poet, though trust me, i don't think my work deserves more than a glance most of the time. if anyone here actually understood the watercolor medium and could suggest specific ways in which i could work the paint to achieve a higher quality product i'd be happy to listen. what did i hear from you though? something about being of high school standard? im sure some high schoolers spend plenty of time painting and have become as good as the best watercolorists out there, so who cares about such a remark? it's not constructive in the least bit to hear.

holy shit. did you not read my post. I have worked with watercolor for a while m8.


tbh, your watercolor for the most part looks like shit. It doesnt look like watercolor.... You tried to paint to much as if you were using acrylic... You dont fully understand watercolor do you... Your trying to control it to much. It also looks as if you dont understand watercolor techniques in the slightest....
