Finished


That's a wrap on this one. Next week we have two models and a three night pose so look forward to that one starting Monday night. I'm going to keep this oil thing going, when I came to America 20 years ago it was to learn to paint in oil, better late than never.

Steve this is wonderful.
I never knew that, about you wanting to paint in oils. It's been worth the wait and all the more glorious now that it's happening, for me anyway.

Not bad for a beginner then.

Nice work but why paint in oils anyway? They are smelly, rot your canvas and Acrylics can do anything oils can! I will stick to my Acrylics!

Amazing! worth the wait. If I may say, the thousands of drawings and gouache paintings you did till now makes your entry to oils on a whole new level.

Wow!! I'd say you've succeeded in your mission.
Awesome work/

Thanks everyone, I'm really enjoying the experience of a new medium.

Tristan, that's an interesting point, the class I'm taking is strictly oil and I have a bunch of oil paints, I've never tried acrylics, maybe later.
