Description
Oh, it’s a submission with actual color.This is another piece from my Oil Painting class, this one from level 3. The picture came out a little on the dark side, the colors are more vivid in person, but its okay (I’m still not use to using the camera for submissions). For Painting 3, we had the make a series; three paintings that relate to the same theme or idea. The theme I decided to go with was this idea of things we think we know, but don’t actually know unless we see or experience it. This piece uses an example a friend used, that a person who lived their whole life in a white room only reading about color wouldn’t actually know about color.
I really love the colors in this one. I love colors in general but this one’s like. . . mah!
Anyway, comments are welcomed and critique is always loved.

Soooo beautiful, I-F!! (I need a better nickname for you.. OTL). I love the idea behind it and I think it was expressed beautifully - I almost thought it was a photograph but realized then that it couldn't be.. xD And oil painting is difficult to begin; the amount of materials you need is always daunting to me, anyways. xD; So great work, I really love this piece!

Hmm, it would probably be cool to creat a similar image with photography haha Watercolor is more challenging than oil paints (at least to me). Oil paints you can fix, watercolors not so much.

The colors and shading look great.
I think there's enough green.

Thank you! Hmm, maybe there's enough green. . . It just doesn't seem like strong enough of a color compared to the others

True, a lot of the green does blend into the yellow.
