sleepboy: thanks, glad you like em so far.. hopefully i can do more paintings like these soon to build my body of work for shows and such someday.
lettie: thanks lettiee :)
these look awesome
looking slick! Hey do you have to gesso the wood panel at all before you paint?
Pete: Thanks man
Francis: thanks, for these pieces, i coated the wood with a bit of acrylic paint for a base colour (burnt umber in this case) then, i drew my pencil sketch and the used 2 layers of matte medium..('matte medium' is like gesso but it is transparent so u can still have some of the wood texture showing through a bit.) Hope that helps!
Francis: also if u're painting in oils, the matte medium helps you block the oil paint from sinking into the wood and making the colours weaker.
Thanks for the tips Peter!
Great paintings!
francis: you're welcome :)
joseph: thanks, glad you like em.
looking good pal! love the 2nd one has a dreamlike atmosphere.
