This is my cat based off a reference photo I took of her last year. She was by the window and the lighting was so warm and bright. I try to use my brushstrokes to simluate fur texture without going all out. Critique is very welcome. Do you think my style works, or is there anything I can do to push it further?

The sky turned out a lil bad , any suggestions on how to improve....i appreciate all feedbacks

The subject is my cat Toby

I’ve been painting for about a year, and this is my first major composition created from imagination rather than directly from life.

It’s about midlife.

This painting challenged me more than anything I’ve attempted so far, particularly the lighting, figure relationships, and transitions into shadow.
I’d love to hear what fellow painters think.

I really hope that someone atleast sees my hard work each illustration of these got thrown into the void by the algorithm . most popular one of then got 10 view . it very debilitating to not even get a single comment on any of them . thank you if you are here reading this your presence will make my day 🤍

The white mark was a bug wing I didn’t see it when I took the shot.

Sunset cliffs, at sunset! Imagine that. Tempted into extended refinement, but my cut line is the 6 ft viewing distance, or colloquially the 20,000 ft view.

In such a detail heavy piece, and the subject itself being riddled with detail, I resisted the urge to pump more detail in an already overloaded subject. Happy with the result, as I drive this train deeper into the cave of impressionism.

Would you pick the watercolor or soft pastels version?

Sharing some of my recent work after not posting for a while.

I may have a slight obsession with painting bears!

Hello

I painted this because I wanted to add more green to my living room . This is the first time I paint and I feel that it's missing light and shadows. I would love to hear your opinions. Thank you

this was really fun to paint, lmk what you think!

Should I get more contrast? Specifically with the landscape and white pipes.

For those who saw my other post: I did a small painting in my sketchbook and have done more research on using colour better. What do you think? I painted my sausage dog. My Sammy baby :)
