Yeah, I have a ways to go before I can make something presentable with this technique.

All in due time.

Hurricanes and snow

I love it!!!

Seriously, that's really interesting

it looks to me like you drew a tropical area undergoing a hurricane. those two corn stalks look more like some sort of plant that we don't have in more temperate areas, and the popped bubbles look like they could be large hailstones.

Made another attempt this morning. (up until I ran out of turpentine)


Same canvas, I just smeared out last night's image, and worked right over the top.

Just finished this thing, managed to thin out the paints with linseed oil, and managed to clean the brushes in between layers with soap and water.

I'm digging those layers of trees. The front tree on the left side could do with more contrast, though.

Thanks!

And yeah, I have to agree with you about the contrast on the one on the left. that one gave me a good deal of trouble.

Also:
Boiled Linseed oil, which I was using instead of turpentine to dilute the paints, has sped up the drying process greatly.
It would appear that instead of taking the expected 3 weeks, It may be dry within 6 days.

I would like to note something for anyone who might be reading this.
Linseed oil is NOT something to be taken lightly, especially with the fire hazard involved.

One done just this morning.
Tried a mountain this time... diiiidn't quite work as planned...

Though the old fallen tree worked out well I think.

Oil paint on Canvas board.

Done entirely in GIMP.

I like the fallen tree over the waterfall, and you obviously can't go wrong with dreamy drawings of The Kirb.
