@ opheliafu great to see a fellow artist on here! I love the stitching effect on the painting, I would never have thought to do that before, but what a great texture. I just recently started painting with oils and I love them!!! their creamy consistency is just amazing, I really enjoy watercolours too, but oils have won over my heart! I would love if you would check out my posts about my art and provide your feedback, its always great to connect with other artists :)
You can't see it so well on that picture but I also do a loose stitch to add texture too- let the looped threads hang down on the canvas.
I'm now following your work, it's amazing! Bit of advice, (if that's ok?) make sure it's clear in the title that it's your work (latest post), at first i thought it was an artist you like... When I watched the video I realised it was you. I wouldn't want you to miss out on votes!
thats great advice! thanks so much @opheliafu I really appreciate that! I'm still trying to get a hang of this steemit thing so I appreciate all feedback :)
