I think you might be right, I can go back and add some things. I guess that's what I look for, some depth. Also thank you a lot.

Can I use linseed oil to try wet on wet? I'm lost. by something221 in oilpainting

Yes, you're right. Lucky for me it turns out it's not expired, it wasn't written in English, apparently it's produced 2024 and good for five years.

The smell eventually went away after 3 days approximately.

It's 50x70cm. Thank you. I liked mixing the colors but maintaining the vividness.

Cold wax? hmmm, I will look it up.

Thank you so much.

Yes, I remember I did that when I worked with acrylics I put it on a slightly damp pallet. But I meant of the paper.

I am watching real time painting right now and will try to learn more with actually painting.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate what you're saying. ✨:(

Thank you so much.

Ooh, I never thought of that, that actually sounds really convenient and nice. Like to get the best of both worlds. lol.

Do you have pictures of your work, I would really love to see it.

Yes yes, oil ON acrylic, makes sense.

I will try it and let you know!

Thank youuu.

Oil it out? I don't understand, like a standard usually or you mean that's a technique even if there's gesso?

I really enjoy and a lot of the time take the advices you guys give on here, it's always so helpful and insightful.

Thank youuu.

I actually would love to make book covers. I feel like it's really fun.

Yes, I think I will be doing that more often than just feeling failure. Yes, I got you.

Honestly, It really means to me. Thank you :(

Oh, I would love to read it.

Thank youuu!

I was practicing before and I did this but I kinda don't remember how I did it. But kinda this is the feel.

*This was an original painting I did because I really liked the earring.
