#oilpaints — Public Fediverse posts

Following Sinéad O'Connor's notorious Saturday Night Live appearance on October 3, 1992, which ended with her tearing up the Pope's photo, I painted my version, with a teacher friend ripping up our local school superintendent's photo. I was so displeased with the results, I immediately chalked in lines to repaint the canvas as something else. #oilpainting #oilpaint #oilpaints #oilpainter #oilpainters #painting #painter #painters #art #arting #artist #canvas #boardcanvas #stretchedcanvas

I have long been drawn to making #art that is dark and shady which causes a lot of headaches as an #artist because darkness is a tricky thing to deal with.

I have long been obsessed with using black in #paintings and it took me some time to work out how to paint deep, inky blacks without them becoming patchy - which can happen in #OilPaints because darker blacks tend to have a high oil content.

I had a print of my "Burger & Pizza's" photo framed and I am pleased with the result. It is framed under glass but I wonder if framing it without glass would be even better. It is a possibility with contemporary #photography and it might be something I'll explore in the future. I also like glossy photos and the combination of glossy and black can make a reflection nightmare!

Anyway, I love my print!

My backyard for thirty years. Oil Painting. #burnham #smalltown #hungryruncreek #ridge #snow #snowy #Snowyridge #winter #wintertime #winterscene #snowscene #snowscenes #painting #painter #paints #oilpaints #oilpainting

Hummel pin washed, cleaned up, then chipped and after that again dirtified wit different brown oils like fresh and old rust and just "mud", and all gently blended around. So much fun.

When all that had dried up, I matt varnished the whole model. Tomorrow I'll use some mud pigments and a graphite pen for final highligts and call the Bumblebee done.

Today the calendar did indeed behave, and allowed me to play with the sepia oil wash. Having given the mess some half an hour to dry, I went back to clean excesses away. Normal surfaces were nicely simple, the no-slip floors noticeably less so. But I knew that already.

Now I guess I have to let it dry for a day or two before oiling more. The next step might be installing wheels and tracks, which also need some oils before I get to more weathery things.

#ScaleModeling #WIP #Hummel #OilPaints

I gave the kraut krew a diluted wash of black grey to make them less Spingy. Result'll be better seen tomorrow.

Then I jumped to a subprocess that gives me infinitely more joy than failing at painting humans: oil washes! I gave the exhausts and track armour some of Abteilung's Fresh Rust. All the wood bits and the combat compartment got a serving of Brown Wash. Like I said: so much more fun and motivating! 😄

I may never get used to the "gifts on 25th" after 30+ years of "Yule Goat visits on 24th"... Anyway, the beardy one brought us stuff, I got three books from the SF Masterworks series to feed my #scifi #reading habit.

* Hard to be a god
* Roadside picnic
* The shrinking man

And for other hobbies a less-gothic-fonted-than-before set of #Abteilubg502 #oilPaints for aircraft. Maybe this is a sign to give a 1:32 scale WWII plane a go 😄

Not complaining of the new style of Abteilung products 😋

This evening's 45mins of hobby time revolved around pin washing with Abteilung's Sepia, and cleaning excesses. On this mini the earlier gloss varnish (or clear coat, whichever) made a huge difference for the better.

Now the thing is drying in the sauna, hopefully half-safe from dust. Maybe I have to give it more than 24h before a matt varnish. The weapons aren't 100% accurate, but I don't mind that much.

#BattleTech #MiniaturePainting #WIP #OilPaints

Hah, I managed some 45mins and got the bases covered in Vallejo's mud and the Jade Falcons pin washed, with Abteilung's Sepia.

Now they wait in the sauna for a few nights, at worst until the first full week of May.

#BattleTech #MiniaturePainting #OilPaints #WIP

And then one of the cats knocked the damn thing to the floor. Nose wheel broke and the repair looks like it was AI-generated 😅

I applied a yellow-grey-buff dot filtering on the top, used some Industrial Earth on the bottom and satin varnished the thing. Too shiny, will do a matt one later. And after that I'll drybrush some black on the Vulcan port, maybe the vents too.

Pracheta Banerjee: I made more than 1000+ #artworks in 2024, here are some of my favorites https://zorz.it/QmVWj | #PrachetaBanerjee #DigitalArt #HandmadeDigitalIllustrations #TraditionalArtworks #DigitalArtworks #OilPaints #portraits #MiniaturePaintings

Instead of a finely controlled and elegant pin wash I covered the whole F-15E model in a dynamic thinness wash of Abteilung's Sepia. After a bit of time I cleaned it mostly up. There's still more to do, and I'll use some dot filtering and/or buff later on some bits, and a bit of Industrial Earth on the underside. I think 😄

The drop tank gluing sucks badly, and the left landing gear came off. This fiddliness aggravates me to no end.

In progress, having fun. First time using water mixable oils, which are revelatory. Eager to get two new tubes soon so I can mix purples and greens that don't look like garbage. :) #oilpaints #oilpainting #painting

Some progress on the Blood Spirits. Touched up sandy bits, added more red panels, placed dark grey metals here and there. There are also some shittily freehanded Clan and Galaxy roundels.

These have a layer of Abteilung Sepia on them since yesterday evening and they're flashing in the (cold) sauna, maybe I get to clean them up today or tomorrow. Oils are awesome.

#BattleTech #MiniaturePainting #Freehand #OilPaints #WorkInProgress

Simple basing done for the #customized Mongrel A, standing next to its Starmates Summoner and Hellbringer from the 25th anniversary box. After this I still had to clean up some of my excess #OilPaints that cast a bit too strong shadows in places. Almost done now!

#BattleTech #MiniaturePainting

The base was a bit too dark red, so I blended in some Abteilung's Dark Rust and Light Rust #OilPaints for a bit more ferrous Mars look. I also fixed a couple of yellow ochre bits that showed on photos but didn't catch my awful eyes.

And then the hex base's edges I painted German Grey, with Yellow Ochre caution stripes. Maybe the only thing left is pulling the rusty dusty feet down a bit. That and applying some gloss varnish where needed.

#DoomguyUrbie #UrbanMech #BattleTech #MiniaturePainting

A simple, quick base for #DoomguyUrbie: a piece of gravel, Woodland Scenics' ballast, three shades (1) of Abteilung 502 #OilPaints and now it's waiting until tomorrow evening for the oils to dry. I remain confident in tolerably Mars-y results.

I thought of adding a couple of wash-thin Grass Green drops for Baron of Hell blood but we'll see 🤔

#BattleTech #MiniaturePainting #UrbanMech #basing

(1) Dark Brick Red base, some Oxide Patina highlights and a touch of Industrial Earth for shadows.

Maybe the #DoomguyUrbie is about done now, with a bit of Abteilubg 502 Green Grass #OilPaints blended on the upper green parts.

I attempted red jeweling on the Small Laser and the AC/10 targeting laser, and a bit of blue jeweling on the tiny vision slits. Could've been worse in confined spaces.

Now I imagine all that is left is the base, and it ought to be Mars-themed as well, even if Doomguy never set foot on the planet itself 🤓

#BattleTech #UrbanMech #MiniaturePainting

The #DoomguyUrbie got some stupid attempts at the classic UAC logos freehanded. Greys on grey, not my brightest idea 😅

The Abteilung sepia pin wash improved the overall look. I think I'll try some green grass oil dots the next time I can paint 🤔 When those are all done, I can ruin some details with my amateurish jeweling skills 💪🏻

What's a good colour for non-weapon lenses like scanners and targeting equipment? Non-laser red maybe?

#BattleTech #MiniaturePainting #OilPaints #Freehanding

My saga of the mine-clearing T-34/76 is about to end. I applied some Abteilung 502's engine grease on a few road wheels and the strange boxes in the rear. Thinking it'd work fantastically I added some Abteilung buff dots on the centers of a few top hull panels and whatnot, then blended that down, over two sessions to tone the effect down a bit.

Missing some final fixes anymore. The tracks were a bit of a letdown as expected from vinyl tracks.

#scaleModeling #oilPaints #weathering #almostDone

A few sessions of #Abteilubg502 #oilPaints later I'm done with just the shadows and most of the rusts on my T-34 and its mine rollers. Oils are just a pleasure to work with!

I also tried out some #AKInteractive 3rdGen acrylics for painting dufferent wood typed on the crates and tool handles. From some angles and distances the wood looks woodlike enough, but I do need more practice on the subject to avoid cartooniness 🤔 Nailmarks were a nifty stolen idea 😋

Commentary on the global art market? The eastern vs western laws of perspective? Surrealism, sarcasm, either way... I love it!

Iterations of a painting I am working on. I've been posting my traditional workflow on IG while my twitter posts have related more to my digital art.

Going to merge the two here.
