Oil paint newbie

These pieces are the first time I used oil paints. They are so different compared to acrylic which is what I usually use. Due to this I really wanted to explore their versatility, and how I could use them to progress my work. As I experimented I was increasingly aware of how I could produce depth and extremely flat plains of colour. Some of these paintings also contain wax, which worked really well in creating texture. Making the pieces in to relief artworks, looking back I could have developed this 3D element a lot further, possible creating a 3D representation of the original paintings. Since this initial dabble with oil paints I have not re-visited them, depending on where my practice develops over the summer I may try to include oil paints back into my work.

Sorry its been a while.

I realise I haven't updated this is a while now. It's been a bit crazy with uni deadlines along with naval commitments but I am glad to say that I got all my work handed in on time, this year I averaged 71% which is a first!! I am over the moon about that. Over the past few days I have sorted my room out, which includes the 4 A1 art folders I was keeping under my desk. I found all the work I produced last year on my foundation year. Even though I didn't particularly enjoy it looking back I did produce some interesting work especially when I used oil paints for the first time. I took photos of all my favorite pieces and am going to start up loading them on my next post. And just to impress you all here is a photo if my tidy room!! Ps it doesn't often look like this.
