Glad to see Sijun is still around... Here's some stuff I've been working on for several years - oil on 4' x 6' panels
The Irreverent Rapture
A Short History of Humanity from the Beginning to the End
The Descent of Water
Custer's Last Stand
The Bemusement of the Ancients
Spirituality...?

You get a very non-oil look out of those oils. |
Yep, however when you reduce the paintings from 4 feet by 6 feet to a small image, the oil textures tend to fade away. They are there, but I do tend to smooth the textures out.
As part of the series, I also do separate smaller portraits of some of the characters in the paintings. I'll post some of them in a separate post.

Thanks for posting all the new stuff!
When I did a little oils work I tended to use just a little paint on the brush and scrub it on, so it had no brush marks, or very few.
I don't think I was doing that on purpose, that's just the way I naturally did things with no formal training. |

I don't do much scrubbing-- I use very small synthetic sable brushes and fan brushes to smooth things out - generally just one coat of paint, but over a digital drawing printed out on heavy acid free paper and mounted on a panel with acrylic matte medium sizing the paper before oil painting. Here's one of the digital drawings that I painted over:

Nope... haven't used drugs for forty years, but I'm told I have a good memory...

Yo eyewoo!
I really dig that portrait of "Bishop Fingah".
Welcome back.
