Hehe
Thanks! Yeah, it definitely takes a bit of doing to get yourself in the right mindset

so you mix everywhere a bit of a complementary colour in? I mean the surfaces.
I should try that too.

yup; even though it ended up being mostly beige/grey a lot of the neutrals are made up of a direct mix of blue and sienna so you get some variation in there.

Aside from black/white, um, unbleached titanium, yellow oxide, burnt sienna, an orange whose name escapes me, and cerulean blue.

Ah, thank you! The color combination is amazing.

Thanks kindly!
The main two would be the burnt sienna and the blue - it's surprising how nice a grey you can get with just those two, and how easy it is then to push it warm or cold just by adjusting the quantities

I usually use ultramarine + burnt sienna (and sometimes with cadmium red) to get my greys but I have yet to try it with cerulean. Thanks for the tip, will try it soon! Also, I think the unbleached titanium adds a great muted warm tone to balance the coolness.
There're some comparisons with Ashley Wood, but I do prefer your rendition as Wood tends to verve towards a more sketchy feel. Yours is more, do I dare say, refined (which makes it pop even more for a traditional piece).
Keep up the stellar work in any case. And also, really appreciate all your feedback.

No problems at all
I didn't have any real fancy reason why I chose cerulean over anything else, my collection of acrylics is not that extensive at the moment so it was more about what I had in hand.
I'm certainly going to have to play around a bit more myself!

i like the huge jump between the last two. haha. i understand tho, everytime i try to get progress shots of something i end up forgetting for like 4 hours

Is that your balcony? Must be great to work "outdoors"

Yup yup, balcony is so nice
Um... well I've never given oils a shot, always seemed a bit daunting . . .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think you should! They are a lot easier to blend and use imo, but they do dry A LOT slower than acrylics. So yep you should definitely try them ^^

And it seems much more professional to be working with oils
