I was thinking about painting the frame, to give it depth, and also doing a blood splatter with fake blood |

i use acrylics and have found that instead of trying to use all the fancy medium the good ole paint thinner makes it much easier to blend them out. but for watercolour i have no idea i suck with watercolour |

finally used diluted paint to add glazes to soften the colour, this gives that tranlucent effect on skin, finally add the detail and white highlights. |

then add colour, sticking to the midtone, don't worry if it looks gaudy or 'cartoony' at this stage. |

I've never found anything that worked as well as linseed oil, specially for glazes. good tip with oils is to underpaint your dark tonal areas first and allow to dry. |

oil is the best for flow and blending, oil on either board (primed with vinyle emulsion) or greased paper for sketches. dont be afraid to use your fingers for blends either, more sensitive than a brush! |

you can buy all kinds of mediums for your oils... stand oil to slow it, quick dry... lindseed... it just depends on what you want to do with it... you can make glazes by mixing a few of the products, i personaly switched oto the water soluble ones for the chemical reasons.... they arent quite the same, but im learning to make up for it... |

I prefer turpenoid natural and liquin. Odorless turp is still highly toxic, you just don't smell it killing you. I've heard people say that turpenoid doesn't work as effectively, but I've never had any problems with it. I also prefer liquin (especially their impasto medium) because the paint becomes more workable, but doesn't lose too much body over all. However, liquin is one of the more toxic mediums to use, probably only second to Japan Dryer. That stuff gave me an eye twitch when I was using it heavily. I guess it really depends on what kind of painting you want to be doing. If you're wanting to do a lot of glazing and more subtle atmospheric stuff, thinning your paint way down is probably a good idea. If you're interested in bolder, more expressive work, I'd suggest some kind of impasto medium or not cutting your paint at all...though that'll take a lot longer to dry and cost a lot more as well. Good luck...and don't be afraid to make something you just throw away later! |

It serves to diminish the thickness of paint.
May and usually increases dry time. you can also use Tupritine.....I always used both.

I like using turpentine to thin my oils... makes me wanna whistle while working! hee hee!
What I like about oils is how time you can spend blending colours without worrying about them drying. It just takes a long time to do them... If you actually have time to do multiple projects, it's best to do so with oils. Unfortunately, when doing multiple oil projects there always seems to be that one painting that gets neglected!
I just took one and am painting over it now... I'm going to paint me something to use as my next convention banner. |

Oil painting = PATIENCE.
Just let them dry as is. If your just learning oils, go natural with this. Make sure you get the right brushes, linseed oil, I suggest oderless turp. You can buy tube or mix from powder pigments for colors.
And remember to open a window or two.
Ahhhh oils.

i love to work with oil, but i've never tried the water salubale (don't know if i spelled that right). i do agree though that u shoul just let it dry on it's own. just for the simple reason that u can go back to later and change something.
that is a personal preferance. |
