Frieren both in oil and digital
Added 2025-04-23 16:09:45 +0000 UTCI gotta say I like oil as much as digital now. Holding a brush feels fun, even though in many ways it is less convenient.
The oil painting itself does take a bit more time than digital but not as long as I thought it would before I started. Digital this took around 2-3hrs, oil version took about 4-5hrs. Though the burden of composing was on digital, I would feel uncomfortable doing the color bashing method in oil for now. The time difference is probably around 1:2, but I am still a new oil painter so this gap might be lowered in the future.
For now I am doing all oil paintings alla prima, it feels most natural to me. I don't like having to wait a week per layer to dry it feels too mechanical and I feel like I would be taken out of the moment, which is important to me.
I am considering doing oil live streams in the future but not super sure about it yet.
