The guy's from Deviantart is amazing...

Trying some techniques with Tamara Geddes Oils DVD. Her technique reminds me of this painting and that's why I picked it. I may stop and start applying it to my own work shortly.

I'm using Rembrandt Artists - Oil Color (121).col I've also made my own custom palette based on Tamara's underpainting methods.

Thanks Coops I find that to blend color it all has to be on one layer. I've been using 3 tools, normal round oil, small flat knife and large wet knife. I used lots of thinned out purples in the underpainting, with hues of red and orange. I draw lines to help me with shape and I use them to guide direction for the flat knife blends.

who would've ever thought eyebrows would take soooooo long to draw?!? I drew eyelashes too, but I think she looks better without them.

It's incredible thread! Artistic and educative value at once and at top level. Staying tuned...
