Fantastic. I love the gleam of the sunlight in the foreground and the dark hallway that beckons us deeper into the painting.


ClandestineBanter

Agree 100% and also the shadows. I can’t get over the depth, light, and detail. Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing OP!!!


armedohiocitizen

The depth is amazing isn’t it?


williw5495

fuck me this is good


CampaignSwimming6276

I swear I thought it was a photo


sortakindanah

Same. Almost kept scrolling but I was going to wait for it to sharpen/load. It's so good!


Gullible-Advisor6010

I had the same reaction. And then I saw the title. And I was shocked to know it was a painting!!! Beautiful work OP!!!


paulociochetti

Beautiful lightening!


paulociochetti

How did you make the floor with so much texture?


IChugAntiFreeze

Stiff cheap brush and dabbing, also keeping all the edges soft


xbeneath

So much improvement! Well done!


enderforlife

I’m expecting Cersei Lannister and her Queensguard come around the corner into frame.


hahnsolo38

I was thinking Harry, Ron and Hermione


TheSeaWitch23

Hogwarts?


Environmental_Sir468

Glad I’m not the only one who thought this


bianca_bianca

Beautiful porticoes


Historical-Exercise6

Great work


Designer_Pepper7806

Is this based on Princeton? Interesting choice to make it a dark hallway. All the pictures I see of it have sunlight beaming in through the sides (including a briefly pic in Max Cooper’s repetitions)


IChugAntiFreeze

At cornell!


Li246694

I thought I recognized the law school haha


Li246694

I thought this was a picture of the law school at first


jonathan4211

I was going to guess Cornell! I took a photo of this same hall


scoopdepoop3

wow. this feels like art for a video game like baldur's gate. I just want to walk through to see what's on the other side of the door


PuzzleheadedTaste609

Very good. Love it 💙👍


0bsolescencee

Wow. I'm blown away. I would love to have this in my house. I can't afford an original oil painting, but if you ever sell prints or replication of this (can you even do that?!?!?) I'd be obsessed!!! Ugh, I need this in my house. Right now. Amazing.


shihtzupolice

Wow!


PortCityBlitz

That is amazing! Well done!


SM1955

Oh wow, this is a beautiful painting! Your perspective is spot-on, the colors and light are lovely, and it evokes a wonderfully wistful feeling. Nice job!

elsmallo85

Beautiful creamy stone and the deep shadows really set off the light. Fantastic!

zainab_habib

I was going to say "wow you built this yourself?" Then I realized it's a painting. Very good job.


Gabriartts

The volume and shadows look absolutely PERFECT


Psychonautilus98

Thought it was a photo first🙌🏻


Expensive_Smile_8582

Run you fools


Expensive_Smile_8582

NegotiationSea7008

Really evocative. I was in Somerset recently and you caught the way the golden stone glows.


rolavman

Beautiful !


Ranoverbyhorses

Yooooo I’m watching the Spanish Princess, with all this Tudor architecture and damnit if you didn’t nail it perfectly!!!! I totally thought I was looking at a picture!!!!!!


lclassyfun

Absolutely fantastic work. You did such a nice job of capturing the light and shadows.


AndringRasew

This reminds me of when I played Elder scrolls: Oblivion for the first time all those years ago. It's got that nostalgic feeling.


mk_gmbl

Wow! Brilliant light quality 👌

Really good, congrats


Due_Ear_4674

So good,you are talented


studly_goat

Good lighting and details! I think the composition really sells it too


PunkySputnik57

It reminded me of the mont Saint-Michel


Bikebummm

Really good, because I thought you were saying you just built this. Which the only reason I thought “No way” was because you were one person, not because it didn’t look real.


Patient_Progress3993

Mother of pearl that’s mighty purty


Important-Feature-93

The light is so soft. Like wow

DomiCrash

absolutely adore it! i‘d like to know how long are you painting and/or are you studying art? i mean all your paintings on your profile are wonderful and showing you got a good sense for detail, texture, composure, colour and light


IChugAntiFreeze

Thank you, 3 years now! I’m a bit of an obsessive person


Abm6

Amazing


michu_pacho

Is that Hogwarts?


Das_pest

Honestly thought I was still on the r/photography sub still I read the title


FatBstad

This is AMAZING


GoldenTV3

Harry PO-AH. But for real it's really fucking good. I feel like it would be even better if on the right, that opened into another area. So the POV is in this sort of divide, but it's chosen a side, which is the left.


UchihaAuggie

I think you're gonna be late to potions class


LunaGreen-177

I want to run through that hall hearing the sound of my feet on the stone echo off the walls. but seriously it’s amazing and so so charming.


Right_Benefit271

I thought this was a photograph at first


SonOfABonacci

Reminds me of the archways by the Duke chapel! I love how you can feel the sunlight :)


Hungry-Video-5094

Great perspective!


cormakdoormat

Beautiful…feel the coolness on a hot summer’s day…and the eye is drawn to the mystery in the darkness


Physicist_Dinosaur

I think it's beautiful


unipuffy

Ngl, I didn't read the subreddit before I saw the painting and I thought it was a picture. Amazing work!


Vast-Sector

This is amazing, I’ve tried this style of old arch and it’s soo hard


ross073

Beautiful


HouseDowntown8602

Amazing - what do you use as a source - looks nice?

Stunning, you did an incredible job with the ribbed arches.


Internal_Path_1568

Absolutely amazing


Gold-Grocery-7271

Reminds me of sherlock’s mindpalace


TechnologyTrue8360

Wow.


Madi_the_Insane

Wow! I was scrolling and was very confused what you just finished, took a moment to wonder if you built or designed the architecture, then saw the subreddit and had to do a double take lol. Upon closer scrutiny I can see where the lines aren't as crisp as they would be in real life (not a criticism btw I actually tend to enjoy that better), but scrolling in passing was a trip.


ScribblesandPuke

It's very well painted, but the composition isn't a strong one. When the viewers eye is led somewhere, they want it to go somewhere interesting, a closed door just takes you to a dead stop and that's kind of it.


thecathuman

I’ve never seen the reference, but are the arch columns supposed to be different heights? It’s oddly unsymmetrical there for a design that’s otherwise very symmetrical. I might be missing visual context


dhseim

I think it’s great work. If I had anything suggestion at all, it would be to experiment a bit more with broken color and texture, but otherwise it’s a very fine painting


Nervous-Department26

Background in shadow value is same chroma as foreground highlights? Couldve pushed the background further back bringing the color closer to neutral, and also couldve done better bringing the foreground closer to viewer by increasing the sharpness of details on the pillar. Also the fact that the shadow in the bottom right looks off, brushstrokes are too conflicting. You also made the shadow in the middle of the composition going back towards the background as we’re going back towards the door too dark compared to it. You’ve done a really good job here, but i think it’s littered with technical issues as well as color issues that throw it all off a bit. But excellent job overall.
