Description Waste of paint......

There is so much I have to learn with oils!

I'd like to gnit-pick more but I'd ruin it and I've been playing with it for too long now. Time to move on!


This was only an experiment of technique. The real motive was to have something with CONTRAST. Despite lightest bright and darkest dark, Everything seems to blend into a mid-tone with me. Or Maybe I'm imagining it.

Still not entirely happy with it but then again I hate most my art anyway.


Also. I've decided to use the Garuda motif for my stamp for now. I'd like to start a new era in my art if not my life.

(As if it matters. Its the artist who defines the art not the signature. )

Acrylics are nice. I mix them with a lot of mediums in my art. It makes a good base/seal since I use illustration boards rather than canvas most the time.

Plus they blend with prisma color pencils I find!

It could use some polish, but over all I think this piece is very striking

I'm still a total beginner with this medium and all thats involved with it. Whats polish?

Thanks for the comment. I love talking about art and learning from others to improve my own.

It's not a waste of paint! It's a very good effort. Don't be afraid to work back into an image if you're not happy with it and don't be afraid to lose some of what you already have. The good thing about oil paint is it can be applied and wiped back very easily. Well done.

Thank you!

I'm a little harsh on my work I guess.
But yea your right I could always wipe it off although working on illustrasion board theres a limit.
