what a weird sounding technique o_O do you scrape off the excess? or do you thin the oil paint with a lot of mixer?

See ~shannonlauriston for my more refined art.

lovely colour, that's one thing I do love about oil is the vibrancy... acrylics just get all dull as they dry I like the shine on him. The texture of the bg is nice too, with the brushstrokes!

I like it hun. My first oil flopped like a limp fish, so I am in awe of your ability with them.
I know the feeling on working from photos and from your head 0o odd how it works.

I have been wanting to try oil paint for the longest time. The problem is I am afraid of triggering poor RedDragon's breathing problems and I have no space of my own anymore to set up my paints.

This is just lovely. Especially the highlights on the body. One of my art teachers use to tell me to think like I was the light and what would I touch. Cracked me up each time they said that but the idea seemed to work for some people.

Since you are experimenting with thin layers of oil paint as if they were sort of water color (I know there is a difference.) You might experiment with laying down a color that is opposite to the one you intend on having there. Like if you were having a red hued horse you would put green in the shadows. It's something one of my teachers started me on and I love it even though it takes forever to get done. The technique seems to give each image a little more depth. Then again this is just a suggestion. Things I play with. My dad has given up on guessing what color I am making things because he says that everything I start otu doing looks psychedelic at first.

I love the coloring!

A very lovely job with this one. And how long have you been painting with oil that you do it so well? I can see it now... "so many ways to paint so many lovely pictures and we knows them all"... in a golumn sort of voice... Hmmm, and if you do start talking like that I'd say it's time to move you away from the paints and into the fresh air.
