Dracula In Oils


"Dracula In Oils"
10" x 8"
oil paint
I have been playing around with oils for a while now and enjoying it, but have been wanting to get serious and take the plunge and try my hand at a portrait. I started with a full valued pencil drawing on the board, I sprayed it with fixative and started using thin layers of oils. I kept the layers in the shadows thin, to let the pencil come through which gives it a grainy look. And the areas that are in the light I applied thicker paint to.
