Description
A study I did of a particular style of oil painting. I really thinned the paint out and smoothed everything together far more than I normally do, and I think I could quite get into this way of painting.Related content

At first I thought this was former supermodel Gemma Ward.

I love it. This technique rendered the thin silky lace of her dress, her peachy young skin and her big fluffy hair so well!

Absolutely beautiful. Classicly beautiful. I started working with oil paints maybe a year ago, but I still can't give myself to learn to smooth things out. Great job especially making the hair look soft, yet real, and in making the sheer and lace look like sheer and lace. Neither are easy tasks. Love it.

Yes, yes it is. I was trying new techniques and wasn't trying to make an "original" image. Why don't you show me all of YOUR highly creative paintings?

It was a quick study, and to be honest, all the sides are wobbly and uneven... I just didn't crop the image very high on the computer.

That blending style seems to work great for the transparent fabric.

i like the blending of the hair, though the lacing could ue fine-tuning.... blend-wise, jus seems to stick out way too much being linear and all where the rest o the pic's about shape. nice technique, i've been itching to try it... but haven't any linseed oil for my paints

liquin? i'll have to check it out. i've noticed linseed slows downg the drying.. definitely makes the surface stickier, too!

It's great stuff! And it actually speeds up the drying time... a whole layer of paint will dry overnight, making it a lot easier to work within a deadline.

I love it. It's sensual, a little bit dark and full of secrets : )

It's odd... but pretty interesting. She looks a bit etherial with the wispyness of her hair and the distance in her eyes. I'm not sure if the chin is too short. But I like how you can tell the sheer fabric over her shoulders is there even if it isn't quite visible.

This is just amazing. I think I've stared at her for about 10 minutes now. Beautiful work.
Instant favourite and watch.

You're got shadow and realism down pat. Oils give me a headache... you use them very well

I really love the way that you did her face. Very catlike - it goes well with the 18th century style hair. ^^
