I love it - such a great job! the colors just are so vibrant in this! I never would of thought it was an oil, until you said something. Like you said, with the drying time. Have you ever tried that paint that drys like an oil almost, but to work it is like an acrylic? I love that stuff, can hardly find it sometimes.

dwljk, I worry about newer man made products longivity. I want my work to be around long after I am gone.. long after.. so I try to keep with traditional tech and matterials.

uuuuu, forgot to put that Tuesdays are the 7:00pm show in studio... Darn it I messed up again.. LOL

it came out great! sooooo cute!! I love pugs!!!

i have a question.

why do you wait for it to dry then continue? why not do it all in one sitting?

that's how i do it, in one sitting,

not that there is a right or wrong way to paint, but, am i doing it wrong?

Hi Ozk3r I have done both methodes, but I find it's easer to get a three dementional and better effect with little over blending with layering (glazing). I just love the effects I get using layers that just don't come out the same with wet on wet. If you saw my paintings up close, you can actually experience alot of the layering, where with one layer usually thick, you don't get that feel and/or effect.

Your paintings are beautiful! I've never tried oils! It looks like fun...I only use acrylics, so quick and easy. I finish a painting within an hour.

How long does it take for oils to dry?

[artrock1970]

I've never tried oils. I just do acrylic, because of the drying time. But after watching your video - I am so curious on how different my paintings will look like. I love your technique, though!
