    Let's paint oils from life!

    Thank you so much @Donna T! “Lac-des-Rouges-Truites Camping” - 3 hours plein air session with oil on 30x20cm canvas panel. Experimented a bit with different techniques. Trees are hard to do with oil I think, dunno how people pull it off. 😬

    Let's paint oils from life!

    Thank you @Artyczar - I still am not sure if I like the look of it haha. *shrug* but many people like it. @Donna T Thank you! That’s why I paint from still life and plein air so I can learn about it and use that for digital illustrations. There’s the magical depth that camera can’t even reach...

    Thank you everyone! I appreciate it very much. Limited palette can be fun to work with. Try it sometimes. ;) Here’s my two pieces - it’s up to you guys to break my spam streak. 😂 “Pierrefontaine-les-Varans Village” 2 hours oil on 30x20cm canvas panel - it’s the same spot I painted last summer...

    Let's paint oils from life!

    Thank you so much @Donna T I appreciate it! :) A few other people also has suggested this Gamblin Gel to me too. I’ll investigate that. I was told that Winsor & Newton Liquin Impasto is also good. For now I decided to embrace the painting straight from tube idea and see where it goes. I need to...

    Thank you! I used Winsor Red, Cadmium Lemon, and Prussian Blue (I don’t count white as a color). :) I used the same colors last 2 pieces too.

    Thank you! :D Here’s yet another spam from me… (somebody please break my spam with your art 😂) “Valoreille” oil on 30x20cm canvas panel. 2 hours. I think I like this style more and more. I’m looking for a medium that keeps brush texture/impasto but allows me to dilute oil paints. Any suggestions?

    Thank you @ntl and @Artyczar ❤️ I just noticed that in my last post, my image is very small. I tried to post it from my phone and I think I messed something up. Sorry about that. 😂 Anyways, here’s my next one. It was a chilling session - no time pressure and I got to sit, so chill all the way...

    @ntl lovely palette. Also nice subject to paint from. I like how you did the textures. Keep it up! Here's mine. "Chateau de Marbeaumont Castle" 4h plein air with oil on 20x30cm canvas panel. I wanted to give up several times because all the details were overwhelming me, but I managed to keep...

    Thanks @Enyaw I appreciate your kind comment. Here’s my next one, “The Bar-le-Duc Gate” oil on 24x30cm (I think) canvas panel - I tried to embrace the idea of painting thickly this time inspired by a YouTube video I’ve seen this morning. He said that oil is to be used thickly, not thinned like...

    Still life with apricots and silver pot

    Lovely lighting on this one. I like how serenity it is and beautiful edges. I like how soft they are and how rendered they are. ❤️
