Description
[Beware, poor camera quality --> shitty color, etc.]I'll try and upload a better quality one soon!
Bizarre landscape I painted out of my head for my second project in my oil painting class.
Took about 4 weeks start to finish, and I'm quite happy with it
My teacher said it was the most "bizarre" painting he'd seen all year, lol. Nice.
FYI, oil paint is a fucking hard medium >.< (but so fun~)

Thank you
I really admire oil artists, seriously! It is such a hard medium-- I had no idea before I took the class
I hope I can take another class in the future to really get into the nitty and gritty stuff, heehee~

Looks great! It's trees clinging on to the edges of cliffs like this that inspired the first Bonsai trees thousands of years ago, their stunted shapes created by extreme weather, feirce winds and falling rocks and because of this, they were actually once beleived to posess spiritual powers that would be inherited by the person that cultivated it
I have spent probably less than half an hour of my life trying Oils...and hated it

Thank you for the comment
I've always thought bonsai trees had this creepy, kind of tranquil beauty... <3
And yes, oils are a bitch... but so much more versatile than a lot of other mediums I've tried. I feel like I need to conquer them, hahaha

Oil painting these landscapes must be annoying you? Don't you just wanna paint people/portraits?

You know, you're kinda right XDD
I do much prefer people/portraits, but it was my first painting class ever, so I figured I should try a little bit of everything.
I actually painted an abstract too, but I forgot to take pictures of it before I gave it to my dad for Christmas, lol.
That one might appear up here someday too, but I don't particularly like it, so... XD
