oil painting
I have been SO busy lately! Painting wise I have managed to finish a commission painting – more details on that another time – and this one, another Tiger!
This latest one is a new way of working for me – a trial. I have been using a lot of different materials and media, and finalised it with oil paints. It was an inspiring experience! I hope you like the end result! Painted on a 40 x 40 canvas.
I have been working on a portrait or two just lately, but really needed a break! The break took me back to my all time favourite creature! Painted in oils on 30 x 40 cm canvas, with love.
I thought I would try a different style – a little more abstract than usual and far less detailed! This is the result! This giraffe was great fun to do and turned out better than I expected!
The tiger too was a new attempt at doing things differently. Both good fun!
The giraffe is on 40 x 50 cm canvas and the tiger on 40 x 40 cm canvas and both are painted in oils.
I apologise for the camera quality – both pictures are more distinct in real life!
I am so new to watercolours! These are my first two real attempts with the medium. I am reasonably pleased with the outcomes. I have so much to learn about using watercolours though and I shall enjoy experimenting with them.
The Tiger I have painted in oils before, as you may remember, so it was interesting to me to notice the differences between the two mediums. I do still prefer the oils to paint with but that is probably because I am such a beginner with watercolours and oils are far more familiar to me.
I hope you like them.
This tiger looked so soft and cuddly and just like he was daydreaming. He has had a great response from social media which is pleasing as it means I must be doing something right! I hope you like him. He’s painted in oils on 40 x 40 cm canvas.
