Oil Painting Technique, Art Lesson

Namaste! I'm an Artist who Loves working with Oils! I'm always looking for new techniques and tips or tricks to stretch the medium. If you're sketching with your brush, blocking in a base coat, or creating a Plein Painting try this...

 

Before applying Paint cover your canvas with a coat of Artist Oil for Oil Paints first. There are several different types on the market for you to choose from. Then go on an Art Adventure and explore this technique. Have Fun! 

Painting a Day, Figure

Welcome to my Artist Blog! I'm a Pennsylvania Artist who Paints Daily. I will be documenting my Art Journey in this blog. My Paintings will vary in size, style, genre, and medium. I hope to improve my skills and share what I have learned. My Travels will be documented, as well as, weather phenomenon, my living environment, my Pets, the Wildlife that I encounter, and whatever else inspires me. Eventually the originals will all be posted for sale...check back for updates. 

Day Eleven:

This Painting has taken much longer than one day to get to this completed stage. I just need to finish painting the edges black and it will be available. I edited the image for my blog, since it is a partial nude.   

I added lots of textural elements to this Oil Painting, and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.
