Bright portrait of a beautiful woman. Learn to write oil paintings with me.
Hi again! (Canvas, oil).
Have you ever dreamed of writing a beautiful oil painting? In my article, I shared tips that will help you immerse yourself in the wonderful world of oil paints.
Oil paintings require a lot of time and work, but it's worth it
Many people say that painting oil is very difficult and takes a lot of time, rather than, for example - watercolor. Yes, I agree oil paintings require a lot of time and work. But if you understand the technique of writing oil paintings, then you no longer want to switch to watercolor. I was so carried away with oil paints that I even paint portraits by them, most often on technique - a dry brush.
What are oil paints
All colors are a mixture of dry pigment and liquid. In oil paints, the pigment is mixed with linseed oil. Flaxseed oil is an oil that dries out during the oxidation process with air. It absorbs oxygen from the air. When the oil dries, it can not be removed. Oil paints are thick. Oil paints dry very slowly. Therefore, they take a long time.
How to work with oil
Oil paints, as they require time to dry, allow you to move them along the canvas while they are still wet. The very comfortable brushes are flat. Paints are mixed on the palette and applied to the canvas. Still there are many rules of work with oil paints. You need to choose the shades, be able to......
Drawing
First, sketch the future painting with a pencil on the canvas. First - a sketch in pencil, and then - paint painting. Select the colors. Beginners sometimes find it very difficult to compare the color of the object with the color of the paint. Look at the movement of the object. You can paint any method and technique convenient for you, even if you draw parts, even layers, though.
As I already said, that I even paint portraits with oil. Most often this technique is a dry brush.
The technique is a dry brush - Painted paints on paper or fabric. On the brush itself is usually used very little paint, the thinnest layer, which is evenly distributed over the hairs of the brush.
So, how it works: On the palette, a little black oil paint is squeezed out and a little bit of black oil is poured out, very slightly dabbing with a brush in the paint, we rub it on the palette, so that the brush is actually almost dry, then a very thin layer of paint is applied to the base of watercolor paper or fabric by rubbing this brush.
Oil PaintingOil painting is the most interesting painting for me. Oil paints are very durable and durable. For your convenience, you will need an easel.
That is phenomenal, great work!
I know it's the painting of a girl... but for some strange reason, when I watch this, the name Kurt Cobain pops into my mind.
many thanks))))
Thanks for this tips. I want to try to paint with oil.
try it I think you will succeed :))))
I can understand your fascination with oil painting because a close friend of mine who also likes to draw using oil only explained how Oil Painting is so lustre in nature and all the time it take to dry is worth in the end.
Your portrait of Woman is quite fascinating.
Yes, it takes a lot of time for the oil to dry. Therefore, I paint one picture longer than a month, sometimes I draw several months. thank!)
