I'm still working on nudes with a palette knife and oils. I'm hoping I can show some of these locally soon.

I'm just starting out with oil, but what I've learned so far... Oils take a long time to dry, particularly if you lay them on thick. Some of my knife paintings take weeks to dry to the touch, and even then may take months before they set completely. You can dilute paints with a bit of turpenoid and they will dry faster, but using too much turp can cause cracking. I usually use turp with my paint for initial washes and the underpainting. Other thinning mediums like linseed or safflower oil slow the drying time even more. I haven't noticed that cold wax affects drying time much either way. Also some substrates are better at drying faster. I use Dick Blick's multimedia board for some of my paintings, which sets up the paint very quickly compared to canvas. That said I don't paint like Bob Ross with a base layer of white for blending. Here's a portrait I'm calling done before I overwork it. It's a bad pic, but you get the idea. I learn so much with each piece.

Here's some mixed media sketches I did this morning. I'm hoping to do some larger, more finished pieces like this with models. 140726-1 by philip painter, on Flickr 140726-2 by philip painter, on Flickr 140726-2detail by philip painter, on Flickr

perceptron posted:I'm just spinning my wheels at the moment but heres a late one. Lots of masking tape and slow construction. I think it's a cityscape. I like it--there's a lot to look at. Although I think the staircase structure really dominates it. The only thing I could suggest is maybe putting some red lights in among the city lights to get the eye to move away from the structure some. The couple chem trails you have moving out help some, but they're too much like the rest of the palette to do the work by themselves. Also the edges have a bit of a seam where the brushstrokes break down. I assume that's where it's been stretched over a frame?

HungryMedusa posted:I really, really like this. The only thing that bothers me is how solid that right paw is. It distracts from the face which is amazing. Thanks so much! I agree about the right leg (can't unsee  ). Unfortunately I don't want to overwork anything with it now.

I've been doing a lot of charcoal drawing lately. I'm slipping more and more into abstraction and gesture. I'm just going with it for now.

a hole-y ghost posted:not necessarily a criticism or comment, but why are you using charcoal for these? It's far from an ideal medium for this sort of thing because of its texture and smudginess. Dark marker, ink pen, or paint on bristol board or on gesso paper mounted on panel would get you much cleaner areas and lines. Don't let me stop you if it's intentional, but I think one of those would be much more conducive to this style. Thanks for the suggestion. I do plan to transition to other mediums as the project evolves. Although I do kind of like the mess and imperfection of it all.

TheNBucket posted:What about the fumes? I've heard quite a few ~stories~ about people who end up with health issues regarding the brain. Really? I guess long term exposure might be an issue. I'd be more worried about some of the heavy metals in the pigments and linseed oil. Gotta suffer for art.

Avasculous posted:Something I was wondering about- what would you say are the advantages of oils at this point given that Open acrylics can kind of emulate the working time, without all the horrible fumes? Oils have much more pigment per volume than acrylics. Acrylics change color slightly when they dry, as well as shrink significantly. Oils do not change color or shrink much when dry, so they retain brushstroke and texture much better.

I've noticed color shift even with Golden. It's not huge, but it's something to be aware of if you intend to go back and rework a painting after it has dried. I'm not knocking on acrylics--I use them myself.
