How often do you produce an oil painting?

Question

also what is you style?

Answer 1

On average, one a week...I, too, have a fulltime job, but I paint everyday, from one to four hours at least. Two studios, a "basement studio" at home, and a 20x30 room at an old factory now a studio for 25 artists (the Pioneer Bldg in Detroit). My "sytle" runs the gamut from Impressionistic to Abstract Expressionistic. ( www.victorpytko.com). I do four commissions a year, and about six to eight shows, selling about 25 paintings a year. All this since 2001 after more than 50 years putting off my art "career" till tomorrow.

Answer 2

By saying 'oil' painting you're excluding haft the painters out there, those that use acrylics instead of oils.

But to answer your question I average about thirty-five a year (all done in acrylics). Most take from two to four days to do (I can't paint all day because, like most artists, I have to work to pay my bills).

As to my 'style' I work in at least four different styles, from realistic portraits to figurative renderings to pure abstract, depending on how I feel at the time and what inspires me. I never think about trying to create great art that will last a dozen lifetimes. But I do try to always be as original, as inventive, as creative as possible.

And I don't paint because I'm expecting fame and riches. I paint because that's who I am, that's what I do, that's what my soul dictates from my life.

The portraits and black and whites are in the sub-galleries.

Answer 3

Still life - represetational realism - 2 to 3 days depending on how complicated the composition is.
Portraits - realism - 2 weeks. I do about 20 a year.

Answer 4

I made some for art class, they were supposed to be about nature. I drew a tree. Style- whatever will get me an A.

Answer 5

Well, sometimes it takes me and hour or two. Right now I have some that have been taking maybe like 50 hours.
My style? pretty realistic, but with abstract marks and areas.
