Hmm ... It's really brilliant work!!! BUT ... looks like photography!
To be honest I'd prefer to buy paintings, which look ... like paintings!
Not like photography!

There are really awesome works in this site, I just looked at it.

I think it's wonderfully that people can see arts online and to get in
contact many artists.

Yes, that's me. XXxxx years ago
What, don't you like my photo?????

[Alex]

Its the strawberries that say they are paintings to me, how on earth does one get the shine like that?????? The Silver wear looks so real and the marble, how is it done, shiney without looking wet????? Does anyone know?

[ldoone]

I would like to know too please

[peter]

lots of linseed oil in the pigment mix?

[Brian]

I've used Liquid Parafin as a medium and it keeps its shine...but takes about 3 weeks to dry....

[peter]

Have a drink of it - the weeks will just fly by......

[ldoone]

It looks more like to me that the artist knows how to paint things so they look like they are shining, rather than a gloss on the top. what do you all think?

[hawkwood]

yeh definatly painted to look shinny rather than a shinny medium or glaze. With the metal stuff it looks like it is all about contrasts, with the bright white right next to the dark grey, and reflections are a must

[Alex]

Ok if you use lindseed oil in oil painting , what would one suggest in acrylic other than contrast, I recon mine would look like white next to grey. I suppose Icould take an aspaect such as a jug to practice.......would that be infringing on any copy rights?????? If it was not for sale?????????
Oh by the way Neo Art I never did mention your photo you stunning young thing you. X

[hawkwood]

if you are copying his then yes it would have to be a nonsaleable practice piece. if you were painting an actual jug and trying to achieve the same effect (using his painting as reference) then it would be a still life.
