"Castle on Mountain" painting - Cubism

Hello there!
This is a painting I painted with oil paints on a 16 by 20 inch canvas for my art class. It is in the cubism style (hence, all the geometric sections).

Here is a close picture of it:

And here is a farther away picture of it:

For reference, here is the original picture of it, of which I painted from (found on Google).
(obviously, this is not mine!)

So… What do you all think? Just so you all know, this took a REALLY long time to make (no “safety”/ “prevent from painting into the next area” tape was used in making this).
Comments and constructive criticism is appreciated!

Very nice. It was a bit hard to make out at first.

Cool.
If not slightly hard to make out.

To be honest, I didn’t know what it was until I saw the source XD

I like it.

@Omega_Tahu Thanks!
@Hutere_the_Toa_of_Air Thank you!
@JoeScibelli Thanks! :grinning:
@Rockho Thank you! (I thought the purple was blue when I was first using it! :stuck_out_tongue:)
@Leoxandar I can’t really see the head, but that’s the magic of cubism, isn’t it? :stuck_out_tongue:
@Radiation-7901 Thank you! Some people in my class just used solid colors, but I think this styles looks better with gradations!.
@Grimsock Thank you! (I think it will be a long while before I do cubism again!)
@Ultimate_TChalla Thank you! The coloring was really time consuming and painstaking (especially without masking tape!)

Thank you all for your feedback! I know it’s kind of hard to tell what it is. But that’s just what cubism is: Lots of basci shapes and angles. Thanks again!

That’s not entirely true. While that’s a main point of cubism, there’s alot of other things that make up cubism. there’s also stuff like weird angles of faces and stuff like that. I’m no expert, but I know there’s more than just angles.

True, true. (I actually did the weird face thing not too long ago, but I think most people think of cubism as cubes :grinning:).

True, but I spent some time studying art styles in GT, so I know a bit about art. :stuck_out_tongue:

As others have said, it took a bit to make it out, but I suppose that’s the beauty of cubism. Great work here! I hope to see more stuff like this from you…

Nice! The colors are what convey the image when it comes to cubism, and the coloring here is quite epic so…great job!
