This Week on: Painting with Oils
I will dive into a little bit of research with how to create texture. Although this video is aimed at abstract paintings verses the realism route, I am taking with my photo to painting approach. The video still helps me understand how to build up the texture by allowing the paint to have a mind of its own. By not forcing the paint to flatten on the canvas, it creates height and levels. This method can trick the eye into thinking it has a 3D effect when it is a 2D medium. Having the paint thicker and thinner in some parts can help the painting come to life.
Tune in next week, to see the how I made out with creating texture.
