Which black were you using? vine? ivory?
Great work!
Wonderful paintings, Alex!
I really enjoy the one with the green blazer and blonde hair. Such an interesting expression and color.
Do you mind if I ask what medium you use to keep your paints thin while painting?
I've never done portraits and want to try. I was looking through Andrew Loomis's book on figure painting and will probably start pencil drawing first before trying to do anything in oils. Doing figures / portraits is something I've not studied yet, but want to get into that this year to expand my studies.
Thanks for the posts!
Adam - Ivory on these - and thank you!
Robert - Was this meant for me ? ( Alex!) - if so and I think yes - medium -pretty much what's in the tube (e.g., the paint itself and the medium it sits in - usually linseed or walnut oil. I sometimes use Venitian medium from Natural Pigments and once in a while I will use Liquin fine-detail for glazes or to juice up the flow of a paint but it's rare..
