Today’s post is a bit different as I am not sharing one of my finished artworks. I am trying a new medium and I want to share with you my learning experience.
Here is my first ever oil painting (study) I referenced a screenshot from Alice Grace new tv series, because that is what I was watching lately and I liked the lighting.
Oil painting can be very intimidating and complex, there are so many techniques and challenges to discover and I hope I can count on your support and feedback in this journey.
I have to add, I never tried this before and I am learning by trial and error , so if you are more experienced than me and see that I am going in the wrong direction please point that out :)
For those who are beginners like me, I hope we can learn together from MY MISTAKES :)
First- MATERIALS I bought
First mistake- I tried to improvise a pallet with cardboard wrapped in plastic- did not work for mixing colors with the palette knife …..
Than I used a piece of tile and it worked great for mixing and it was easy to wash
First day and first layer of color ….
Second day I added some minimal glazing because my colors were a bit dull
because this was not meant to be a masterpiece, I fooled around with some color over :)
Hope you like it and is useful for some of you
There will be more posts like this one in the future, as I said I will share my learning experience and progress
