Snapped this at an abandoned site that’s totally covered in graffiti—layers and layers of messages, tags, and art.

I boosted the contrast just slightly on this one to try and bring out more color without losing the rawness. Still learning, so I’d genuinely love any feedback or thoughts—especially on editing choices or how you’d frame something like this.

A vivid photo of a partially ruined structure deep in the woods, its walls and columns completely covered in dense, colorful graffiti. The central wall features the word “GAY” in large pink and purple letters, outlined in black, surrounded by overlapping tags, drawings, and layers of older graffiti. A skull illustration on a red background is visible on the left side. The snow-covered ground and bare trees create a stark contrast to the saturated colors. The image has been slightly edited for contrast.
Another shot from the same abandoned structure.

I gave this one a very light contrast boost, just enough to try and bring out some of the color without going too far. Would love additional feedback on what good next steps are?

Shot on Canon EOS R10.

Still new to photography and training my eye. I’m not sure how to make the colors come through the way I saw them in person.

This is completely unedited—straight out of camera, shot in RAW exported through Darktable. I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially on how to bring out more vibrancy. Does it feel too flat to you?

A photo of a snow-dusted, partially ruined concrete structure covered in colorful graffiti. The central wall features large blue letters reading “ACAB” with a rainbow painted over them. Surrounding walls and pillars are layered with various tags, messages, and images, including a white skull on a dark red background. Bare trees stand in the background, suggesting the scene is set in a quiet winter forest. The photo is unedited and retains natural lighting and color tones.

Been painting outside and studying/sketching but it’s all very frustrating and bad results. Here’s another portrait from the archives that I was quite pleased

Here are some portraits I made of another very dear artist friend of mine over the years. I appreciate the time she allotted every time I depicted her so I could come to some sort of conclusion with whatever task or vision I set upon myself. She is herself a very successful painter and I am always baffled as to why she wants to sit for me but I’m always grateful :)

This is a portrait of an artist friend that was so nice to sit for me. Wanted to have some paintings of my friends to hang on the wall but he wanted it very much so I gave it to him instead :). Direct en face portraits are very hard to execute for me and the drawing has a few issues. Looking back it kind of adds to the charm though.

Rough painting showing a very yellow face with glasses and very short hair. The angle is en face

Went outside with a fellow artist today and painted a castle that’s not too far here. It was very cold but I got my gloves and warm clothes. As always, I hoped for a better outcome technically, but it good to have room to grow too I guess :) I am happy about the light effect I was able to create though.

A sun lit painting of a sun lit Fassade of a castle it seems. Again, it is a quick painting and this the paint application is quite rough.

Making the first allaprima portrait painting of the year. I feel very privileged to have a model sitting for this on the regular.

It is an Oilpainting depicting a yellow background on which is a face of a man with long hair and a bit of a mustache.

First painting of 2024! I’ve struggled whether to post this but I decided that I’m not a professional artist and as because of that I can freely post things like this too.

I wanted to paint some of the flooding over here at the river and got cold and frustrated quite quick. I think I’ll return tomorrow and paint something else to gain confidence and patience. I feel like these two go together. At least I hope so :$

Rough Oilpainting depicting trees and branches sticking out of a large body of water. Possibly.

A pleinair painting of the local church. When I started I was offered coffee by a nice shopkeeper on the street I was standing on. Boneheaded as I am I declined because I don’t drink coffee. Felt bad because I think it’s rude to decline hospitality. Sadly I didn’t see which shop they were from and eventually I packed my things and left, embarrassed.

A bright depiction of a church facade in sunlight. The saturated colors and rough brushstrokes make it very impressionistic maybe.

Posting the head of a young Romanian lad. Was working very academic in this one, both with the limited color palette and the design of lines and shapes.

This is another older painting (starting here gives me much of an archive to post from). I was fortunate enough to sell this one.

Oilpainting of a big old arch built from mainly red bricks and some stucco work. The architecture is classical, with an architrave and a lot of decorations. It stands freely in front of a blue sky and the sunlight is hitting it from behind.

Digging around some more in the archive of 2023 paintings, this was another allaprima portrait of a young woman. I’m attending a little portrait painting group and she graciously sat for us.

#oilpainting #painting #MastoArt #allaprima #portraitpainting #critiquewelcome #artistsonmastodon #TraditionalArt

Oilpainting of a person with red hair and glasses. The hair is loosely painted in swiping brushstrokes whereas the face has a more delicate touch. The background is black and the overall composition is what one would call classical.
