Buy professional color, not student grade. Student grade just has a lot of filler and little pigment. There are affordable professional lines.

I took classes but I'm sure there is YouTube.

Get into good habits of prepping surfaces. You can use thick paper if you gesso it, but as you get better you will want more lasting surfaces. This is part of the value of oil painting, it lasts longer. Try oil ground and pva size.

It is a forgiving medium. You can paint over or scrape it off. It takes forever to dry. Take that into account, you'll want to varnish it after 6 months or so for that nice glossy look.

I second classes, but for now YouTube. I always have a stack of those board canvases to remind me that my paintings aren’t that precious. 😉

I’m a big fan of water mixable oil paints to avoid the toxic mediums. Look into brands like cobra

Do you all think of a color palette before you begin painting, work from references, or other?

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

I was given a tentative offer for a job at a government hospital. The salary they are offering is lower than what I'm making now. For government jobs with a defined GS level salary on the job posting, do they have a wiggle room for salary negotiations?

Do people actually spend all or almost all of their $25 meal allowance if they work late? Just curious since a couple of other staff seem to be very careful about spending too much.

Hi all,
Yesterday my people lead told that there is no variable pay for me as my previous people lead put negative remarks on portal. Here in the screenshot as you can see yearly bonus on November is zero. But there is a monthly bonus amount. What is that monthly bonus and when shall I get it?

Has anyone set up a side hustle with their art? I've looked into things like an Etsy store but not seriously. Would love to hear what others have done!

My goal in life was to go to school for business, learn how to business and then establish an art studio.

But now I feel strangely stuck. I am making more money than I ever thought I would, and feel like following my original plan might set me back.

Its great problem to have don't get me wrong. But I am afraid I might end up regretting it.

Anyone else thought about leaving the corporate world to work in art?

So I keep refining my process. Now I create a 3d doll, pose it, arrange the lights, and the camera with focal length. Take a picture and use it as reference. Results seem to be showing!

I don’t have much energy to paint these days but knocked out a quick abstract during the holiday break. Ignore the messy edges - it was a study but I didn’t get any further on the project.
