Back to Oil Paint!

 I’m unhappy with the last 2 pieces I did for various reasons, so decided to change it up and do an oil painting. 

It’s been almost 20 years, and the initial smell brought me back to when oil was what I’d paint with exclusively. 

While Googling  painting techniques one night I came across one that intrigued me. The artist takes a reference photo and blurs, one max blurry, one less so, and again, then the final. He also takes the initial photo and turns it upside down, so he’s just seeing blocks of color. 

I gave it a go. 

It looks crazy, I know. But I’m trusting the process.
