Kalimera, I’m currently painting in beautiful Crete for 6 weeks. Here is my first finished piece! I hope you like it, I’d love to hear what you think or if you have any suggestions for my next painting.

  5. Looks great! You can uploaded on r/crete as well if you like.

    Edit: Never mind, I just noticed that you cross-posted it. Thanks.

  11. Im Cretan but this port doesn’t remind me of anything.

    Looks similar-ish to Milatos but not sure.

    Anyway looks awesome!

  12. The painting looks absolutely phenomenal. I got goosebumps from the moment I first saw it. I don’t know if any words can describe how masterful your technique is. The colors you used are so vibrant and everything from the composition to the shading looks incredible.

    I know that I am simply someone who really loves paintings like this, but you truly have to search for the various museums of the island. Not only do they have some beautiful scenery to get inspired by, but I think that it’s also a great idea from an artstyle point of view.

    I would really be interested in how you’d be able to interpret those pieces of our history in your own canvas. Plus some of the art that Ancient Greeks used to make differ vastly from the art of the modern world. Regardless of what you decide in the end though, you have to give us your social media! I want to see more of your art please!

  23. Very good, just keep doing what your doing, good art makes you want to stare at it and engage with it, this does that!

  34. To begin with the painting looks excellent, especially the boats and the reflection of the water. This is my personal view and I have stopped painting years ago so please take it with a pinch of salt.

    The port pier is gray in the background but tan-red upfront. I imagine that not all of it is concrete but I assume that where the lampposts are it should be concrete. If it is dirt then you may want to add some texture as it looks too smooth and clean. I would also go for a darker shade on the trees (shore pine) in the background instead of the lush green. Given the very light blue shade of the water one can assume that this is at the sun’s height. I would go for more pronounced shadows at the lampposts and boats if that is the case.

    Again this is an stunning painting, it is highly appreciated, and please keep up posting these 👍

  35. Lovely 🥰 I think you should set up an easel and make some $$ for more supplies ! Keep posting them!
