Seascape.
Only my second painting so I’m an absolute beginner and will still be for a long time. Would therefore appreciate any feedback. I struggled with many things including mixing accurate colours and values to match the reference. Also struggled to keep the colour puddles contained to small areas on the glass palette as it was difficult to scrape the oil paint up from the surface of the glass with a palette knife and the paint kept spreading across a wider area as I tried to mix colours. So I was frustrated about several aspects but overall it was still a positive experience as at least I was painting!

First skull drawing.
Used vine charcoal and charcoal pencils. It was more challenging than I expected but was still a fun exercise and such a great way to relax.

@Ken Boyko Thank you Ken. I’m an absolute beginner. I’ve only done one oil painting and this one charcoal sketch. That’s it. The oil painting didn’t turn out too great and because I was procrastinating so long to do another painting my wife eventually convinced to at least give charcoal sketching a try and hence the sketch above. Ultimately though, I just need to relax, spend more time being creative and accept that a lot of the initial work is not going to be as great as I want because I still have a lot to learn and that’s ok. Unfortunately I’m too much of a perfectionist and too afraid of failure which prevents me from getting started in the first place and hence I have a sum total of two pieces of art. Sorry about the long winded explanation.

New Member Alert...
I'm new to the group and the 'alert' is for me... I feel like this is not my domain - I am the world's laziest artist. I have no formal training and feel resistant to drawing out what I really should before I get started (I think it's my drawing skills that kill my vibe). Somehow, I have managed to create a few paintings I really love. But I've also gone AWOL on my art in lieu of business-building (which seems to have been never-ending for 36 years) ... So, here I am - ready to engage and be inspired by all you incredible people doing incredible heart-based things. Here's a random selection of some of my creations. (Sorry - they seems to have come up a bit grainy in the transfer...)
