RE: Portrait of tiger painted in oil
Hey, @normazaro.
Very nice. The way the tiger is painted, it looks like it was lying there waiting for you to finish its portrait.
Very nice. I went to your website and it looks like you are very fond of tigers. The one with the tiger in the leaves is particularly striking. The tiger looks very real.
Very much enjoyed this. Congratulations on the Curie. Well done. :)
I'm very happy that you visited my website. I love cats and I try to paint them as they are capturing their free spirit. Thank you very much for your comment!!
Well, you're welcome @normazaro.
I think you've got a lot of talent and I hope you keep painting. From the look of things here and on your website, you'll be doing just that.
I'm guessing it depends on the subject matter, but how long typically do you think it takes to take a painting from concept to finished product? And do you sell your art? And if so, how is that going?
I know someone who tried their hand at making and selling their art, and it really didn't get off the ground. He was the main source of income in his family and so he didn't really have a chance, or time, to dedicate to it enough, I don't think. It seems like it would be a five year project, at least, and that if you are fortunate enough to make the right contacts. This was years ago, though, probably 15 or so. I'm sure there are many more ways to sell art now, particularly online, than there were then.
It is difficult to say how long an artwork takes, since I usually do more than one painting at the same time. I believe that one like the tiger has been at least a month. You are right now with the internet it is easier to show and sell our art. I publish some artworks at https://www.artfinder.com/norma-zaro#/ and I have sold some with them, but it is not easy, it is also difficult because I am from Argentina and I am far from the central art markets. Thank you very much for your interest.
