My first oil painting - A grim mountain
For my first oil painting, I am really happy with the final result. Off course I could correct and add a lot of tones but I signed it, so be it.
I started my first oil painting course in september 2019 with the great painter Richard Morin
Before trying the oil painting, I would sometimes draw and ink a finishing illustration in black and white in 9x12 format. Oil painting cannot be rushed if you want something beautiful; It takes time ... Lots of time!
At first, I was not happy to have to touch up part of the painting in a week. I wanted something good, quickly. After a few lessons, I discovered that this "meditation" was good for me and my art in general.
Focusing on what I do and not wanting everything to be finished quickly adds quality to my creations. I see it with drawing, 3D and even in other areas of my life.
Oil painting, i love you.
