Have finally got out the oil paints and started to make an effort. And God what an effort! I had no idea how to paint with the damn things and had to trawl the internet to find a few tips. Started a portrait of Bruce and Trev, but it's going to be a long haul. Painted in Trev's head and not displeased.
Then went to teach on Friday and continue my lesson doing a demonstration of portraiture with acrylic. Very surprised that my style seemed to have changed since experimenting with oils - and suddenly realised the right technique for oils..and it wasn't so far removed from acrylic!
Went back to Trev head and totally repainted it. What a difference! Now very pleased with how it is coming on - still needs loads of work, but the technique is there at last!
