Pastel Painting - Tumblr Posts
hey physical painters, is this fake?
so i am a digital artist and have no idea how real painting works. someone i know sent me this, it is an oil on pastel paining it looks nice... but those brush strokes are sus to me. If you look at the brush stroke markings, it is going against the shape of the pumpkin and the details.
Am i missing something ? non digital artists help me out here.
