I think it turned out rather well. thankfully I was able to salvage some of my fucked up areas.
I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out overall.
The lighting on the branches turned out well, and i think the composition is pretty good as well.
I'm not used to painting realism. Not since highschool had I any desire to really. But this was mothers request, so this is what she got. Not saying its "realism". It looks more fantasy to me ;p 8"x24" cradled panel.

I'm pretty happy overall with this painting as well. I'm going to wait until I get a decent picture before posting it anywhere for prints.
15"x12" Hand stretched 12duck canvas. (and I didnt stretch it, but the person who did, sucked. I might have to restretch)
there we go! oil paintings! Woot. Now I'm off to spend the day creating more art with Jammy, at her house!
Ooo I love the loosness and sense of light in these. I really need to get over my fear of oils :<
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
ReplyDeleteOils are nothing to fear! In fact, I've found them to be the most forgiving of all the paints I've used.
Just don't use turps, use odourless mineral spirits and you wont have any problems. I really don't understand people who use turps when OMS are so much better and less toxic.
Beyond that and airtight palette, and some good brushes are your best friends :D
Oh and Alkyd if you hate waiting for drying time like me HAHA!
