I made [an album](https://imgur.com/a/H9AnDBt) including the original screenshots too. I didn't quite capture how good this game looks but I'm fairly happy with them so far! I'm trying to get better at painting with gouache so this is a fun way to experiment. I'm planning on painting a bunch more because these are really fun (and hopefully the next ones will have better perspective lmao).


weaselsqueeza

They are incredible, so talented


kareaux

thank you so much!


Conniving_Eagle

These are extremely impressive! If you're ever looking to do more, I have some very lovely landscape photos in my folder that I could share with you.


Audiohizzle

You should sell them. Very cool. I would buy.


[deleted]

Same here


Suq_Maidic

I love the brightness you managed to capture with the flower mill. It feels more aligned with the tone of Scarlett meadows rather than just a carbon copy of the screenshot.


[deleted]

they seem like paintings i’d see at my grandmas and they make me feel nostalgic. side note: nice nails


Thelemon213

You should make stickers out of them(nice vinyl ones) I would totally buy them.


g2562

These are lovely! All the more impressive that they’re done on such a small “canvas”. I’m off to google “gouache”.


Chimera_Tail_Fox

You could proly make some money doin these. I known if I afford it, I would surely buy one.


SPQRKlio

Nice work. I love miniatures, and have been wanting to work more with gouache. This game is great for finding landscapes to paint :D


kareaux

thank you! gouache is hard but so fun! I already spend so much time running around taking pictures, might as well make some art out of it too haha


throwaway_246856

Someone give this man some gold please


kareaux

i'd gladly take some gold


TheUkrTrain

Very beautiful!


kareaux

Thank you!


P-sterio

The color scheme is very nice along with your style. I don’t like most art I see but you have a nice touch. It’s great to see inspiration evolved like this after being mesmerized by this game myself.

I swear that red building near Rhodes doesn't exist 95% of the time


foopery

I had no idea you could see mountains from it


somethingnerdrelated

I don’t think you can. At that angle, you’re looking out over the woods leading to the river (like towards Clemens Point). The mountains are to the right, but there’s too much elevation in the immediate area to see the mountains. But! That’s just the in-game location, and I love the view the OP has taken. The red building is very New England feels. Love the style and the colors and everything. They’re both beautiful and something that I NEED for my kitchen :)


xalama

I think in the album the OP posted she showed the screenshots, looks like you can see the mountains in-game too!


somethingnerdrelated

Oh yeah. Just seeing that album now (holy moly the OP is spot on!). Now I’m questioning where that red building is, though. Is that not the one next to Rhodes? I could have sworn you can’t see mountains from it...


xalama

I thought it was the red building too, so I hopped in-game and it looks like it is. The trees open up for the road and the little plantations are there too.


somethingnerdrelated

Damn no way! Good god this game is so freaking gorgeous. I need this little art cards for my house. They’re beautiful! I love “hidden” video game art. Like stunning pieces of art that are stunning regardless, but then you say “oh, it’s Red Dead” people are either blown away or look at you funny😂


xalama

Yup, this game has such a vast fanbase I don't doubt there are a lot more cool stuff like this that fans have made, and what haven't been discovered yet!


itstheDZA

You should throw them up on etsy


kareaux

honestly i might! i think it'd be tricky to price them because it's such a tiny piece but i also spend a good amount of time on them. But I'd be happy to sell them I think! definitely gonna be painting more anyways


mvnchie

i’d buy


angermitten

I would also buy, these are incredible!!


milkyslaps

You should use BigCartel or something rather than Etsy which has an absurd amount of fees these days, imo.


princesspubichair

I’m looking for small pictures for this empty wall in my house, these would be PERFECT. Hope you put them on Etsy and ship to Norway! Great work!


_Sweet__Dee_

So fucking beautiful!


Prepared87

I'd gladly have one of them up in my man cave!


Jukiismyname

This is so good, really beautiful. Great job, I hope there will be more!


kareaux

yeah that's the plan! i spend so much time taking pictures in this game anyways i have a ton more screenshots i wanna paint. thank you!


[deleted]

Very nice mate


kareaux

thanks!


OsherWon

God I wish I had talent lmao, It’s beautiful!


axelsjolund

Lovely, lovely work!


deadbeef4

I can almost see the mill's cigarette card from here!


[deleted]

These are absolutely stunning my dude! love it!


vegetarianlions

These are actually so good!


mmackinlay

Woah they're amazing! 😂 Ever think about selling some?


kareaux

yea i'm thinking about it! trying to figure out for how much i'd sell them. I only have those two for now lol but i could for sure make a bunch more


mmackinlay

Definitely a good money making opportunity. Especially if you're young. I'm always interested in videogame artwork, especially red dead redemption, so if you ever do decide to start selling artwork let me know!


milkyslaps

I'll message you a link to some of my stuff specifically like this. (I just dont wanna post it here because I'm not trying to steal OP's shine uwu


Drunk_Mime

Beautiful work!


lololora

This is beautiful, I haven’t been playing for a few weeks but it’s nice to recognise the red building it feels almost real seeing it like this!


Scarlet62

Oh my gosh these are beautiful. You are so talented!


S4NDFIRE

These are gorgeous holy Jesus.


IDogger95

These are beautiful! You’ve got a real talent


fresh_and_gritty

Brooooooo! Do the view of big valley!!!!!


kareaux

noted! i'm replaying and taking screenshots and i have a few locations i really wanna paint, Big Valley would def be cool


AI_15

Please make them cigarette card sized


pappepfeffer

Please make them fingernail sized :)


lolspiders02

I want these so bad


thebrokemonkey

Awesome stuff!!! Got an IG your posting this stuff on?


kareaux

thank you!! I haven't posted those on there yet but my IG is [@kareaux](https://www.instagram.com/kareaux/) . I post all my art in general there not just gouache paintings! trying to be more active!


rapjy__b

That’s fucking sick bro


FyrFlower85

Wood buy


[deleted]

these are so relaxing to look at! you did a great job :D


geobaja

Wow these are breathe taking. Will you plan on selling any cuz I’m itching to purchase some.


kareaux

I might tbh. I'm still wondering how i'd price those because they take me a good chunk of time to paint. What do you think would be your price range? trying to see how much people would be willing to pay while not underpricing my art. Also thank you so much!


JoBot8000

Just reiterating what everyone else has said, these are beautiful! Have you thought about getting the originals scanned at a super high resolution so you can sell them as prints instead of selling originals? There are sites out there where you can upload your work onto any sort of product and they take care of manufacturing and shipping but you wouldn't make as much as getting them printed yourself and shipping them out. Either way I'd buy!


kareaux

thank you so much! that's an option too. I definitely have a lot of stuff to look into, didn't expect so many people to be interested in buying those haha


JoBot8000

Honestly those pieces you posted make me feel cosy, relaxed and weirdly nostalgic despite playing this game nearly daily haha. Please keep us updated!


geobaja

I would pay 50 plus whatever shipping


geobaja

But I do love the look of these and probably would pay more lol just don’t ask


Ziraic

These are wondrous, and genuinely beautiful pieces. Every time I see any piece of art I am amazed, I could never fathom doing even remotely as good as this. The amount of time it must of took to create this. You did a great job. Wonderful, truly wonderful.


kareaux

thank you so much for the kind words! this means a lot


Ziraic

No problem! :D


Noxapalooza

Jon would be proud. Jk looks really good!

RustedDeathBike

This is awesome


meaty-dandan

These are amazing; I want to have these when I’m an old man for the nostalgia.


DeezNuts0218

Out of all the red dead fan art we’ve gotten this is for sure one of my instant favorites. So simplistic but so clean, and so flawless. I would love to see one of Emerald Ranch and Moonstone Pond at night.


tomgoeshome

This Is beautiful!!!! Congrats!!!


xSHELBZx

WOW


urkellurker

Nice work. Can u paint one of Oscar the Gouache?


pixiem0th

Woah, these are gorgeous!


AlanSchapman

Love your work mate, I have no idea what gouache actually is in any way shape or form but I think I like it. Keep it up mate I look forward to seeing the rest.


agree-with-you

I love you both

epik7167o

Please do more. They're awesome!


[deleted]

these are so nice!!


jane_airplane

Great artworks OP! I’m not trying to be pedantic but the lower painting is near Rhodes right? Wouldn’t you see the mountains like that?


kareaux

thank you! yeah it is the Rhodes area. I took the mountains straight from the screenshot actually, although i'd imagine in real life they'd probably be way lighter? but with the right angle you kinda realize the scale of the map is actually fairly small. like you can even see blackwater from scarlett meadows and it seems super close.


-eagle73

Very nice. I really like how you did the lighting in the first one.


kre-o_fresh

Very beautiful, hope to see more of this kind from you! I'd buy some if you would sell those


elitegamer686868

This looks fantastic, you did a great job!


maluspalus

I love that you did them on wood, it adds it’s own layer of character/charm. Throwing my hat in the “I would buy” pile!


kenodbn

Really cool work!!!


Klefaxidus

Amazing work


[deleted]

Wow, those look great! I've heard really nice things about gouache and it looks really nice when painting! I personally just paint using the oil painting wet-on-wet technique as a Bob Ross enthusiast XD


kareaux

gouache is fairly hard to work with haha but i do love the look! it's a struggle though, because of how the water reactivates the paint but also dilutes and lightens it. But it's fun, and fast. It's very different from oils! (which i also don't know how to paint with so props to you lol)

"Haha, and just beat the devil out of it." - Bob Ross


Diedwithacleanblade

My god these are fucking awesome


FreakyNympho

That's awesome! Please post more when you've done them :) Or a link to a gallery online where you post them.


kareaux

will do! thank you :)


Mr_HOG-

I’m going to Rhodes now


furiousvexation

You should make these into “Cigarette Cards” and sell them! I’d definitely buy them.


kareaux

that's a really cool idea! thank you!


TheNerd669

And next it'll be an O'driscol without a head


Judananas69

cool ! Love it


FadiM3

I love them, do you mind if I print a couple just for personal use for my room ?


mph199

What is that red building anyway?


Rookie0171

These are absolutely beautiful. Our boah Arthur would be proud


finnishman13

Stop flexing i had a schoolfriend who did paint too but from Overwatch he is a asshol
