8 x 8oil on BFK
10 x 8oil on BFK
I have been trash talking my new oil paintings and that's not productive and smells a bit of behaviors I don't find attractive, so I will stop. Right now. Thanks for calling me on it!
Today I took stock of what I've painted so far. I wrote little critiques of each piece (which I will share with my teacher at our next session) and found something good to say about them. Of course, I had many criticisms, too. A common criticism was the miserly amount of paint I applied. Today I determined to lay it on thick!
On the top you see my return to fruit. The beautiful pear, lit from below. I wanted to play with the complementary color and leave big globs of paint untouched. The pear is floating and that's a problem I created with the odd lighting, but I still kind of like it.
Next, I tried a painting using only palette knife. It was like frosting a waterfall cake! Oil is fun and I will remember to apply it more liberally in my next paintings.

great paintings, Kvan! The paint is slathered on.... looking super! woooo hooooo (and Bravo!)
Wow! I can even see the 3d thickness of your strokes with the slight reflection in the camera shot. With the palette knife, do you feel the water flowing over the rocks? The light on the pear really jumps out. It looks like you're having fun with your fragrant new oils.
