My first 2 Oil Paintings

[float]

bare with me, I've never tried oils before...and all I have is a shitty webcam, so it's a little out of focus and dull

[gothicmom]

interesting, I like the second one! It's very ghostly.

Wrong subforum

I like both though, I think both are gothy but I think the first one is also metal, like iron maiden

And yet one more of your many talents.....

And you say your not goth....rather gothic artistery....

These are great.

Nice work

Oils are very sophisticated compared to acrylic-they are not forgiving in the least and take a bit long to dry-really give you a respect for Van Gogh's 1 day paintings, with globs of paint extending nearly a half inch from the canvas in some areas, was the first thought I had, the first time I used them. They are a bit expensive, too unless you buy raw pigments and oil and make them yourself.
