For first two oil paintings these are pretty good. I've tried oil before and thought it was a b***h pain in the a** to work with, but your paintings have nice form and substance.

The images look a little dull though. Maybe try some more room lighting next time you take pics? 3nodding

Were these class works? All of the objects in the second one don't look like they are on the same plane, and all seem to be distorted. Also needs better blending; it looks more like an early charcoal drawing from the way it was used, than oils - finger-blending lines and everything.

Have you ever heard of chairoscuro? (Prolly not spelled right) It's good to practice, helps a lot. ^^

In the first one, even with all the blurs (from the camera?) the lines don't look stable, and that the darker paint used for shadows and dark areas mostly looks like it was just pushed around.

Yeah i can see what you are saying. I think i just need to post better photos of these. (better lighting and less shakey) Oh and i touched up the first one today because my teacher said i needed to touch up a few things.
