I Will Surpass The Gods So i recently entered a still life painting class, and i just felt in love with it.. the genre and the oils, it was my first time experimenting with actually painting traditionally with any kind of medium. Its changed my life..
Here ill post my progress in painting from earliest to latest.
And here... we.. GO!

Nice improvement. How long do you get on each one or does it vary?
