possibly at some point. i wanted to do a few more and do them all at once.
Very nice, man!
That's spectacular! But you must be a madman! It should have taken 1/3 of the time in 3 or 4 different mediums! You're nuts Dave!!!!

haha thanks. this one was an experiment . doing linework with a brush with oilpaints is a bitch. this is a decent sized painting its a big canvas....I lined it out then painted the whole thing but a lot of the linework got covered so I had to redo it all over again at the end. its still not as clean as id like it but I cant merit spending anymore time on this painting its time to move to the next :) I did try putting the lines in at the end with my fancy art inkpens but the ink pooled and wouldn't dry...makes since I guess since it was sitting ontop of oil paint .
theres something about high quality oil paints man.....the paints are so rich it looks alive its hard to explain...u cant capture it with a camera it has to be seen in person.(gotta keep them at a gloss though if they dry muted it loses that aliveness , I oil out my paintings when finished ). i find other mediums can look lifeless and dull. nothing compares its my favorite medium it just takes FOREVER lol.
I have used lumocolor pens over oil after they are fully dry. I know it is recommended but it works.
That looks incredible by the way.
im gonna have to check those pens out!
the roses are real nice..really pop
so nice man
very cool!
proper good!
