Oil painting

[Orchid]

Wow now! They're ace andross!

[Andross]

Thank you everyone!

28, I just found some white spirit in the garage and the oils I found in my wardrobe, a forgotten Christmas present from a few years ago!

Here's Barack Obama, jazz superstar!!

[Number 28]

Sweet. How have you not run out of paint yet, with those tiny tubes?

If that white spirit is stinking your house out, and making you feel a bit dizzy, I would recommend getting some odourless sansodor. I keep saying that... sansodor, sansodor, sansodor! I have shares in Sansodor Plc.

[Andross]

Here are all my efforts together! There's nothing more satisfying than self-indulgence!

Where can I get this odourless Sansador from?! Yes, my mother's having a hernia over the workshop stench in her house!

Any art/craft shop that sells oils should have some in stock. You could also try online if you don't know of anywhere local.

First result from google seems decent enough -

I paid about that much for 500ml in a shop, but yeah.

Btw, any science/photography nuts know where I can get filter papers? Like, round things you pop into funnels in a conical shape? I had some but i've run out... because the oil paint actually sinks to the bottom, you can separate the stuff and recycle the sansodor. Useful.

There always seems to be guests in this thread. Come out, come out, whoever you are...

[Number 28]

Phew... gotta let a load of it dry now.

[GODSTEETH]

You utter git!

What I meant to say was bravo.

[rev-happy performance]

Yup, that's amazing as well, you talented bastards!

[Number 28]

Thanks rev.

Done now. Not sure I like it as much as the others, but oh well. Next one should be more interesting.

At the request of Archie, I think i'm going to go over the hair once more. Needs a bit more detail...

[Capwn]

damn that is ace. You certainly seem to have a style going. I have seen this girl before, captured her character really well.

[Number 28]

Thanks Adam, that's exactly the kind of thing I like to hear.

[Gunstar]

Looking good! Some awesome detail in her clothes. Finished? Bring on the action super stars!

[Number 28]

Action super stars? I'm lost...

[Gunstar]

Ahh thought there were plans for more Samurai, my bad. No Mifune? Mifune would be cool.

[Number 28]

Probably at a later date, but this was my plan for the large canvas -

[Gunstar]

Hell to the yeah! That will make for one kick-ass painting. Is this going to be your first black and white oil painting?

[Capwn]

get your tracing paper!

[Number 28]

Hell to the yeah! That will make for one kick-ass painting. Is this going to be your first black and white oil painting?

Yup, sure is. We'll see how that goes eh.

get your tracing paper!

Stop being racist Adam.

[GODSTEETH]

Super fantastic!

Jealousy consumes me.

[Number 28]

But...I have no life!

[Number 28]

Base coat get!! Just leaving it to dry now...

And I updated the previous painting slightly...mebbe no one will be able to tell, but nevermind.

[Number 28]

I started another one, while that dries.

[doodie]

Just started using oils this summer and have finally just about finished me first piece…though this was at the expense of many lovely brushes which are now totally ruined

[Number 28]

Son of a... incredible stuff!

So is that you? Looks really familiar.

P.S. Are you Hemz bro?

[Sabreman]

Whoa - nice work, doodie.

Actually, I don't think I've even been in this thread and given any praise to Number 28. Very remiss of me! It's all good stuff

[Number 28]

I can't believe it took you this long Sabreman...IT'S OVER!

Seriously though, i'm going to have to raise my game now...

[doodie]

Son of a... incredible stuff!

P.S. Are you Hemz bro?

Haha. Thanks, though your paintings are like 100 times better

Well it was meant to be me but I think a couple of the proportions went a bit funky so it's a bit hard to tell...oh well, practice makes perfect or something like that.

And yes I am

[Number 28]

You reckon? I think yours is better personally, but then that's typical isn't it...artists tend to have a love/hate relationship with their stuff, so i'm told...but i'm actually bit gutted here! Still, nout like a healthy bit of competition to spur oneself! You're goin down bitch.

[Hemzoozlefluff*]

Wait. We don't look alike. Is that what you're implying?

But yeah, awesome picture. He's been stressing over it for weeeeeeeeks.
