My first oil colour paintingsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #art9 years ago (edited)

Hi steemit creative art fans,

I would like to present today my two new experiments. I have been drawing with pencils for years but was always fascinated by paintings especially oil painting. My hubby heard it many times and this Christmas his presents were easel, couple of canvases and oil colours.

I had to read much before I started and watch few video, one of the best I liked was from russian artist. Igor Sakharov, absolutely brilliant teacher.
This is my first experiment, I know it is not the best, but now I know how to use brushes, mix colours and how it looks after colour dries up. This picture on my wall just to remand how I started to see the difference may be few years later.

This another picture I have done couple of years ago just to try water colours, it was quick difficult as you know it is hard to control water colour when it is on paper. Anyway, I am happy with the result. I don#t mean to compete with Leonardo da Vinci but I mean I am satisfied with my colour mixture. But I will probably never use again water colour :)
