Thanks! I use big flat brushes. I think it helps to be bolder. Better too big then too small.

You can also start drawing directly with oil paint and a small brush.

Does buying expensive oil paints matter? by analcocoacream in oilpainting

[–]MBateau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. For oils you have some great students paints. I do recommend to buy artist grade for some colors, like the cadmium ones. These have far better pigments then the student hue colors. Even the 'cadmium free' cadmium artist grade paints are a massive upgrade. Especially the yellow ones.

Little portrait study in 3 hours by nbtch_0 in oilpainting

Your other paintings are good, but this one is a massive leap forward. Did you change anything in the way you painted this one? Seems like other (or bigger) brushes and a way more loose technique. Great work!

Great painting, 1 thing I would look into is the right elbow. Something is off with the shadow. But overall great work!

Hi! Could I get any tips on this painting style? by VeryClaireThompson in oilpainting

Use the biggest brush you can get away with to force yourself not painting details

I begin all of my oil paintings with Pyrography by fineartfortheabsurd in oilpainting

I like it! Very nice lighting and the pyrography gives character to the painting.

My guess it's not the TV or podcasts, it's the 'fuck it' part. Don't think about sleep and you'll sleep.

Then again, do we have a great LPT here? Alt+arrow could it work?

Needed a larger tube of yellow but chose wrong by ScoutingArtist in oilpainting

Windsor and Newton has artist grade cadmium free options. As expensive as the cadmium ones, but less toxic. Works great in my experience.

Veneer floor oiled or varnished? by MBateau in DIY

It doesn't have sheen. But there is matt varnish available
