Painting



I have awaken from my long lasting sleep of watercolor in the specs of drawing...at long last I had invest a mouth watering sum to approach the field of oil painting.
Oil painting is a much much more harder aspect of art..The delicate color can evolve into something that watercolor could not achieve. All to invest is a little care and patience.
The linseed oil is a medium to dilute a color to enable smoothness when applied on the canvas. Turpentine is used to dissolve any color on the brush and varnish is applied once the painting is dried....Although it sounds like watercolor, the strength to control is precise and any further disturbance is ought to spoil the mood...however the chance to redo and redo again has exceed the limits of watercolor's boundaries, giving the artist a 'second chance'


The 'Chili' was my first oil painting and the 'Sunflower' was my second. The 'Eagle' and the 'Blue Bird' was both of my products of watercolor....The difference of both mediums will resonate to a different view as watercolor is supposed to be more blurry and oil should be more realistic...Anyone who would love to give it a try should consider it as it is not half bad....
