I know i draw without taking any lessons and so most of my drawings might be technically incorrect (and sometimes hard to draw too), but at the end of the day, what matters is that i love it.
This one is an Oil on Paper, my first proper oil on paper portrait. Took me about 4 hrs (i guess i should buy new brushes, they don't look so good . .) and now i can't breathe, thanks to the turpentine.
Looking forward to your priceless feedback. :)

ReplyDelete(priceless feedback)
That's so AWESOME ...
ReplyDeletethis is one of your Best Artworks !!
I think .. even Mr. Picasso who be fascinated after looking this masterpiece of yours.
ReplyDeletethis is really good!! awesome & technically perfect!
ReplyDeletelove the texture you got. I have never tried oil on paper. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of turpine..it is sort of like coffee to me :)
Also I think your colours are real good
It looks really good. Is this 'The' Mr Picasso?
ReplyDeletewonderful tribute piece....look amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday!!!
Very nicely done, technical or not. If you want feedback (don't know if it is priceless) you may want to add just a bit more shading under his chin.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great start. :-) And you are absolutely right in the creating artwork is all about having fun and learning. I look forward to watching you grow. :-)
ReplyDeleteIs that what Picasso looked like? How handsome!
ReplyDeleteThe results of the oils are lovely - but not breathing... not so good!
I've never attempted oil on paper. Intriguing piece. Love the texture you have going in the background.
ReplyDeleteSuch great textures... and your color choices definitely remind me of Picasso's "blue period".

Nice job!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking really good!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great tribute....he's got something to tell us i think, here....I love the priceless feedback comment, that made me smile!
ReplyDeleteWell, I love it and I love that you love it. Try the water soluble oil paints. No stinky turpentine and they dry a bit faster but still blend wonderfully. Several brands are making them, now.
ReplyDeletehow wonderful that you love making art....
ReplyDeleteI think it looks wonderful and I like your colors. I hope you are working in a ventilated area, I think oils etc. are bad for us to breathe.
I'm pretty much self-taught too.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing well in listening to yourself.
Paint on!
the painting is nice. i would say buy stretched canvas and bristle brushes. it will be more fun to paint. and lesser turpentine in your nose also. use more linseed oil when you are mixing paints. gives a sticky and fun feel. have fun... oil painting is great :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful dedication!
ReplyDeleteNO LESSONS?!! But its always amazing :)
looks good, great use of blues and shading
ReplyDeletethanks for your visit, hope your day is sweet.
