Finally, i have finished my latest painting. It may have taken me far too long, but i put that down to it being my first large scale oil painting. As you can see from the previous post with it in, there haven’t been many changes but changing the shape of the island and finishing the foreground has made it so much better…in my eyes at least. From painting this, i can safely say that oils are much nicer to use and certainly more versatile than acrylics. Clouds in particular can be formed beautifully with oils, with the capability to make such a soft and blended finish yet also able to give a good hard line too. From now on i doubt that I will be using acrylics for anything other than quick sketches. Oils are simply beautiful paints.

His face says’ “You want a piece of me?” That is awesome. Brilliant. Stupendous.

thank you! He actually started off looking like quite a happy stag, but as he developed the stag slowly got grumpier in facial expression. It’s probably the painting’s way of telling me not to overpaint it.
Remind me to tell you the story of the crazy buck I faced down once… it was epic.
