End of the world on a sailboat
New challenges, eager to try new ideas I'm learning. The sea, deep waters, travel, and friendships.
Endless things to talk about.
I used 300g A4 acrylic paper. Seven brushes, numbers 4, 8, 9, 3, and 1. Blue, orange, yellow ochre and white. Shuttle Art acrylic paint in 36 colors.
I hope you'll comment. Comments are welcome.
You are doing great, we do great. This is art, even fast art, considering the circumstances you work and you are a fast learner. The fact you keep painting, trying, studying proofs this is you, it shows your heart (no matter the colours, if it looks the way it should be or we or others have in mind).
Everyone has his own style and the most important is that, just like freewriting, we keep doing it. For the painting, to test brushes, ideas, paints, materials, to spatter, try out different styles. Your acrylic reminds me of water colour paining just the paint works different.
I like it, there's art and art and it's good to study it from a distance. I would stand still if I saw it to study it.
Like you I am not able to make an exact copy. I tend to change everything, paintings, drawings, recipes. It has nothing to do with not improving, a lack of skills. It's all about creativity. A creative mind needs a little hint and next will do as it feels it should.
There might be time you can make it more perfect, or just smile at it, the colours you picked, the joy it brought or the frustration.
I wonder why 7 brushes. Why not 1 or 2. Tried that?
P.s., covering the paint on the pallet might be a good idea with the higher temps you deal with. It's getting cold here again,

Thank you very much for your support. I wish you a great week!
Amigo, estuve fuera algunos días. Regreso y me agrada mucho lo que estoy viendo en tu desarrollo como artista. Me encanta la pieza.
Valoro el manejo de la luz, la paleta de colores y el encuadre del velero, en el centro pero dividiendo el cuadro en dos mitades.
El detalle de la espuma en la proa es impresionante, pero hay otros detalles que en mi opinión desentonan, es el caso de los flojas que se ven las amarras de las velas.
Hay algo que no se si comenzar a llamar tu estilo o toque distintivo, y es esa sensación de que el cuadro aun no está finalizado, veo zonas donde se ve el lienzo y otras zonas donde las pinceladas parecen colocadas al azar, sin propósito.

I'm very happy with your assessment. A lot of things happen to me. Every painting I do is always something I try; they're studies or tests. Everything I see when I study painting leads me to new doubts. Each person has their own rules, each video has its own different points of view. So I'm always stuck in the middle of the sea on a drifting raft.
And when I think about painting and try it, I have a host of factors affecting me. The list is long. Painting at odd hours, in the early morning, sleepiness, physical fatigue, worries, blackouts, etc.
Even if I use an image as a reference, I always add or remove things I don't like, and like when I write, the paintings allow me to paint, and I paint as far as I can and show them. I mean, after that, I don't feel like modifying one bit of anything; the same thing happens to me in literature. I don't know if it's entirely right or wrong.
All art remains a mystery.
The questions. Do you think it's good art, at its core? Is it progress? What would be your best advice?
Don't be afraid, criticism is always welcome.

I like that you're experimenting with various themes in your paintings.
I'm sharing my observations with you more as an audience looking at your work. I don't dare give you advice on intricate techniques; I'm not an artist. But I can appreciate the aesthetics and beauty in your pieces.
My best advice is to simply do what you love. I think you're doing well.
