First attempt with oils
This is my first play with oil paints... I bought some which I used straight out of the tube (though they were a bit old, the yellow had gone a little rubbery) regardless I think I like the medium. The plus points are that it is very quick to work in (this took around an hour to paint not including the sketch underneath) I like that they are extremely opaque and I like that any line can be softened very easily. What I didn't like was cleaning the brushes, which I did several times (whenever I switched from a dark colour to a light one) I don't think I will enjoy waiting for it to dry either. I just slapped the paint on without using layers BTW,
About the Artist
D Hillman
Inspired by an artist friend I came back to paint a bit at the end of 2017. At the moment I am enjoying it and maybe because I have the patience to look more than I once did I am finding it easier and more enjoyable to actually produce a likeness.
