Description
Oil on canvas board. This year's first portrait class work. I love even the smell of oil paint. Too bad I can't really paint them at home.Related content

jännän melankolinen muotokuva.. värit ja sivellinjälki rentoa ja hengittävää. kokonaisuus toimii loistavasti.
( ja kyllä öljyt tuoksuu ihanalle

wow this is amazing...the way you incorperated the abstract qualities into the portrait is stunning! my favourite part is the shading on her neck...very well done.

I can't stand the smell of oil paints. *cringes*
Anyway, that was irrelevant. I love how this one's sharp while the one I just commented on had very soft strokes in comparison... it shows that you paint a mood more than a particular style and you don't have issues taking licenses where required. Once again, your colour play fascinates me, I'm infatuated with that one outline of orange. That and the model's expression add a certain, unease to the melancholy.

Noooo...It's not the oil paint, it's the turpentine that gives their smell a bad name.
But thanks for the thoughtful comments

Well turpentine has that nasty smell that never leaves (though I know soooo many people who like the smell of things like turpentine, thinner, glue...). But I also don't like the smell of oil paints, there's something about it that reminds me of being in a very dingy and depressing house. bad memories that have manifested themselves in scent i suppose.

i love the mark making, reminds me of anselmn kiefer a little.
i especially like the use of white on her face and the unorthadox red as shading on the back of her neck.
you captured her expression perfectly.
i miss the smell of oil paint, i adore it, haven't painted for a while *quivers*

Yeah, I like his colors and style. His work seems to border between abstract and representational. Thanks again.

i love the smell of oil paint too! sometimes the color is so pretty i want to eat it heheheh.

I guess someone said sometime that the color in good oil painting should look so good that it wants to speak to you or that it makes you want to eat it. Don't know why people always complain about the smell of oil paint - it's good, because it reminds me of oil painting, which is a very positive association.

i love how the painting has used quite subtle colours, yet has a lot of vibrancy. Great work

a very great painting. It is certainly interesting to look at due to the orange you used as outline and the blue you used as shade...I like the stokes it makes it become dynamic great work

you have an excellent sense of form, and your strokes are very expressive. my only thought is that the line running from chin to ear looks a bit odd, maybe a bit severe or too strong? just looks unnatural somehow. sometimes the models really have those odd features and painting them true to what you see makes your painting look odd, it's hard to tell.

Hyvää menoa, mun täytyykin jossain vaiheessa alkaa kysellä sinulta öljymaalauksesta. Maalit tuli ostettua mutta, no joo kyselen kun on paremmin aikaa..

Sen mitä öljytekniikoista tiedän olen opiskellut enimmäkseen Helsingin kaupungin kirjastoista, sieltä löytyy monta teosta aiheesta. Neuvon toki ilomielin.

Kaikki ovat pitkälti sanoneet ihan samaa ja on niitä kirjoja yritetty lukeakin, kaikki vain tuntuvat omaavan ehkä yhden ohjeen unohtaneet toisen ja kai mä vaan olen hemmetin huono lukemaan. Parempi olisi vaan painaa täysillä eteenpäin kokeilla ja opetella sellaisella vauhdilla että siinä olisi jotain järkeäkin. Epäonnistua ja epäonnistua uudelleen mutta vauhdilla.

--nyrkkisääntö, jotka on hyvä pitää mielessä (aina paksumpaa ohuelle ja se että muistaa antaa alempien kerroksien näkyä alta)--
Ok, dont i dont get it. Heh, jotenkin ainoa mitä mä tiedän on että tärpätti ohennus alimpiin tai se ei kuivu koskaan jos käyttää öljyjä. Siinä taitaa olla kaikki..

Ei kyllä öljyvärimaalauksessa on olemassa monta erilaista tekniikkaa ja jokunen nyrkkisääntö, jotka on hyvä pitää mielessä (aina paksumpaa ohuelle ja se että muistaa antaa alempien kerroksien näkyä alta) - mutta totta kai tekemällä oppii paremmin, eikä sillä, että opettelee tekniikoita kirjoista ilman, että on soveltanut niitä käytäntöön.
Anna menna vaan, mutta jossain vaiheessa on hyvä ottaa selville mitä kaikkea öljyväreillä on opittu tekemään vuosisatojen aikana.
