Juice’s Art Journey

You could advertise that you can make custom paintings/drawings of a client's pet or of their home from a submitted picture. Price it according to the time it would take to do it. We had another member here who was doing that successfully.

I find it amazing that you didnt take formal art lessons and can turn out such great looking art. You have a natural talent and a great eye. Then again, Van Gogh, Monet, and Renoir didn't take lessons either.

Maybe you could give art lessons as well to earn money.

Why?

I will have to see that later... Just hope you feel like you made the right choice.
Everyone can say that they they wish you didn't or whatever, but its your art so its your opinion that matters on what you decide to do with it.

Yeah Rocky is right... Just wondering why you did it...

Well the description of the video was mostly to just get views haha. I would have painted it over. Unfortunately that one was done some months ago. Last summer all the paint I was using I later found the blue vanishes when exposed to natural light. I’ll attach photos of the before and after of one of my other paintings. The blue was starting to already fade from this, so I took photos, made reproductions and decided to paint over it

Thankfully none of the paintings done with that paint sold that would have been bad

Before and after, the blue vanished leaving the purple red and the green yellow (I mix my own colors so)

That’s what my commissions are for I take what the client wants (colors, size, medium, style) combined with the reference photo they provide of an object, pet or person, and whatever else they may want added and make a painting or drawing for them

I don’t do art the way art teachers like, and I also don’t do it in a way that’s easy to teach or for people to learn from, I’ve tried
However my church gave the ok to host an art event night in their building so I plan to do that in the beginning of November with a set painting idea that I walk through with everyone. I have all the supplies set out and they pay a set fee to come in and paint and take their painting home

Really good art Juice. And how I know that is because when you look at it, it gives us a sense of sadness. Art is meant to convey emotion and you do that very well I must say...

Could you try a happy smile one day Juice? You said male features were hard to do, yet you nailed the Alan Turing painting. Maybe its worth a shot...
