Paint Only - Drawing Contest [5 entries]

Standing Tall Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
72.1%
Contest goal:

TRADITIONAL DRAWING: This contest challenges your drawing skills and pushes your talent a step further! Your goal is to create an artwork using traditional painting materials only, like oil paints, acrylics, watercolours, gauche, etc. You can use anything that requires mixing paints and using a brush. You can combine it with pencil work, but that can only be a side-helper in your image. As for the subject itself, it can be anything from objects to plants, buildings and trains, as long as it's not an animal or a human being. Good luck!

This painting took a very long time. I was unhappy with the lower portion at one point because it detracted from the composition, so I changed it from shear cliff to a more gradual grassy slope with some rocks. There is no reference but memory and imagination. The sky was built from many many layers of cerulean blue and white variations glazed over one another. (5 years and 3479 days ago)

This is an oil painting I made of the Yosemite Valley view you see when exiting the last tunnel through the mountains. If you've been there, you know is breath taking. Pictures are my own stock. (5 years and 3482 days ago)
