Good oil painting no longer seems to be how realistic it is

Like hyper-realistic works if left unexplained

It seems easy to be overlooked and misread

So a good oil painting is outstanding in brushwork and "design"

Drastic or delicate and beautiful

In fact, the most popular first impression must be the visual impact

A few strokes or a long portrayal

The painter's ability to control the pen is always very admirable

Many times it seems simple

But after starting

You can appreciate the painter's powerful understanding ability

▲ Alex's self-portrait

Oil painting artist from England

Alexkellyartuk

In his oil painting

Dabbles in a wide range

There are characters, flowers or still life

Works by alex

Obviously, he can feel that what he likes most is flower creation

In the oil painting creation of flowers

He is better able to grasp the flowers Color Harmony, Light Effects, Composition and Texture

Like many artists

alex has been exposed to painting since he was very young

His initial major was not painting

Through basic drawing abilities

alex officially chose Manchester Metropolitan University to study a degree in sculpture

After graduation, he started making a series of ceramic sculptures

It didn't change anything about his life

In order to improve the quality of life

alex started studying graphic design again

Then he went on to work as a designer for 10 years

The unfortunate thing happened anyway

In 2012

Because of the cruel competitiveness of society

alex was brutally fired by the company

He has a little savings

The idea of learning art again sprouted faintly in my heart

So he aimed at oil painting

This plan was actually buried early at work

While going to work, "secretly" fishing and painting

▲ Pleased to announce that my painting 'The Ghost of Saturday Night' won the 3 rd Prize at the Buxton Spa Award 2019

The idea of oil painting creation

Is a huge challenge

alex's only basic painting is not suitable for oil painting at all

Compare the current "A large number of awards"

alex is also considered True self-taught

Failure in the workplace turned into another turning point for his success

Now he is a full-time painter

Able to soar freely in the world of artistic creation

It is simply the goal that countless people yearn for

alex's self-readme on painting

Most of the time it still requires constant practice

"To me, technology should be limitless... some people's ability and understanding are increasing as they grow older. This is the best illustration of the phenomenon. Of course, drawing a good painting is not only about cultivating its skills, but also about the feeling of artistic beauty."

alex's creation has its own creative personality

"Destroy" a painting first and then rebuild it

This is what alex does with the edge of the work object

For a painter

Such an effect can be achieved by any tool

While realizing, we can also feel the tension between representation and abstraction

Is there still a feeling of "making a show" on the surface artistic phenomenon

I still remember that some people often said that no matter how portrayal a painting is, it is not as good as a camera

In fact, to be honest, there will be no big error

alex thinks that drawing is actually not completely impossible to draw photos

On the basis of habitual sketching

You must also understand the shortcomings of camera photos

There must be loss and distortion in the relationship between lightness, hue, and chromatic subtlety

In the ability of a certain experience

It is necessary to subjectively make up for the shortcomings of naked eyes

From being resigned to being a professional full-time oil painter

With drastic brushstrokes and distinctive creative personality

alex worked hard to become the most envious look in everyone's mind

Amazing creative ability through one's determination and perseverance

Make everyone's eyes shine

Next, let's feel alex's work further

Appreciate and learn more works
