Description
67x95 cm, oil on board, 2010My first real oil painting, from 2010. This was painted on some very mysterious, lumpy board. I'm guessing it's actually some sort of construction material

Wow! It's your first oil painting? Very impressive!
My first attempt looked horrible and messy

Yes I consider this my first oil painting, I did one sort of a practice/study before this, it was really embarrassing working with a reference photo and using a very limited palette made this much easier for me
Thank you for the kind words, the favs, and the watch!

I guess that beginnings with oils are always difficult xD That's why I prefer acrylics. There are easier
It was my pleasure Dear

yeah, I'm still a bit "intimidated" by oils, I'm not even close to being comfortable painting with them... but then, I've only used acrylics once and it was a complete disaster I probably should give it another try

I'll never be comfortable with them xD My paiting is just too chaotic for oils ;x
Really? I thought that there are easier for everyone. They dry faster so it's easy to fix mistakes and stuff And they base on water. So not turpentine, which is big plus for me
Sorry for spamming you with my messages ;x

They dry too fast for my liking I work really slow. I'm not a fan of turpentine either but it's a necessary evil
and no problem, all comments and discussions are very welcome!

I'm just glad someone here recognized it. I have this idea of doing a painting based on each song on Outre', they all produce such vivid mental images for me. I'm gonna be studying printmaking for the next three years though, so maybe in 2015 then

For me it's the insanely good lyrics or whatever they're supposed to be. No rush, I just added you to my watch and I look forward to seeing them in 2015

Yes, the lyrics are certainly intriguing. Anyway, thanks for watching! I hope it turns out to be worth your time
