WIP oil on gesso board © Maria's Watercolor Art |
This is still a work in progress and a photo taken with wet paint, so it has a lot of glare. ANY and ALL TIPS welcome on how to make this stuff behave. Drying times, paint surfaces, brushes, varnish ....all a mystery to me.
And here are some tips from a classmate's vet clinic on your horse vaccines, after all, it is Spring.
Wow! Congratulations on exploring a new medium! It certainly looks like you're a natural at oil painting! It will be exciting for you to find out all kinds of new tricks and techniques. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThank You Katherine! Would LOVE to take attend some workshops to speed the learning, it is fun to try something new though :)
DeleteYou did a wonderful job Maria, I haven't painted in oils in awhile. I do remember wash your brushes with a glob of dish detergent in your palm and keep rinsing until the color goes out of the brush..Hope this helps a little.. love to you,Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you Diana! I bet your oil paintings were so beautiful, you know how much I love your work, and thank you for the tip. That is one think I really missed was being able to swish the brush in water and switch colors like I do in watercolor!
DeleteYou are doing a beautiful job with this!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Not sure what to do with it now, or how long it will take to dry, and if I am supposed to wait for it to dry for touch ups.....it is a bit of a mystery to me!
