If it hasn't had wax added it shouldn't. The oil can still bleed through it and bind with the base. Before you paint you can brush it down so it's not got much residue. Maybe do a test?

Another option is single colour thinned under paint. You get a tonal base for you to build over with colour.

I used light (hard) pencil without any problem. Paint is usually thick enough to mask the pencil lines. Thinned light coloured paint (with a small, pointy brush) for sketching works fine too. Rather easy to make corrections too.

Great work as always

Thanks, @eskay. The dripping happened accidentally but I decided to keep it as it added some drama. 😏

Been away on Holiday for a couple of weeks, took my wee 6 x 4 pad and paints away.. did some quick paintings in the mornings while the kids where sleeping.. quick video of one.. camera only records 10 mins, so that's how long they take..

Superb, I particularly like the last one

That's nice.

Big old thumbs up.

Really like the 1st one.

Got some gesso at the weekend, any idea how long it takes to dry? Will I need white sprit to clean the gesso off?

Thanks, good to do a few closer together.. I hardly ever get to do them anymore.. Must try and keep at it..

1 to 2 hours to dry IME and just rinse out with water and some detergent if needed

lovely stuff on here as always. ive been caught i that work tv sleep work sleep work sleep thing fora bit and havent done anything for a while. I need to get myself back on track.

My opinion: it means you needed to be "off track". That is what I always say to myself...

I did some tweakings on my latest one. Still not happy with the result so more changes may come

My sister went to a screen printing workshop and made this for my birthday. Love it!

I threw it in the first frame I could find, but I think a black frame would be better.

I’ve started to pencil the outline on the canvas. Problem is I’ve used a rubber to remove some of the lines and now it’s a smudgy mess

Nice work.

That's lovely think the white frame works

Can I commission you to draw my house when it’s finished please? 🙂

Hardly need to commission me.. send me a photo and I'll do you one..

Fab that would be amazing 🤩 thanks 😀

First oil project started. Never done an oil painting properly before.

Good start.

Other than the whole head being tilted too far to the left. But…you live and learn.

We are always our strongest critics!!

It looks good me to me.
