Update no 3 on oilpainting


Yet an update on my oil-practice-piece ;)
Phew, it's been up hill, I tell you. But I have just a tiny bit more confidence now.
I think, if I find it worth continuing with, that oilpainting requires working on 2 artwork at a time due to the drying time.
I use WinsorNewtons artisan, watersoluble oils, as I cannot stand the smell of solvents used with ordinary oilpaint.

It should be ready to send to my teacher - Melanie at London artcollege - rather soon.

Very nice work Lene. What are the water soliable oils like to use?
It's always good to try different mediums. I have a couple of new mediums to try out when I have the time.

Happy painting.

thanks Dors. Well, the oils are a bit thick to use I find. I have used acrylics before, but the flow-type. Also you can keep blending in oils, the acrylics dry fast - so not quite the same ;)
