Cecilia Dietrich - Freedom, Oil on 18x24cm Canvas, Nov 2018
This is my very first oil painting that I created several years ago. It's a blue tit, a small one, only 18x24cm big, but I was so happy about the result.
Before that I painted mostly with acrylics, water colours, gouache or coloured pencils. Even though all of these mediums have their charm, none of them spoke to me the way oils do.
It's definitely my favourite medium. I love the organic appearance, the vibrancy of the pigments, the buttery consistency and the long drying time. In addition, it matches perfectly with what I like to paint as well as the way I prefer to paint.
Do you have a favourite medium? If so which one?
Wish you all a wonderful Sunday! β¨
Here is the initial sketch that I did to practice the values before painting the bird.
Wow... looks very cool ππππ·
Thank you so much @foxkoit! ππ·
This is magnificent! I never painted with oil before. I wanna hear all about it when we next meet. It looks very photorealistic.
Thank you so much @yangyanje, I greatly appreciate! π Oh yes let's talk about it, I can tell you more about oils and you can introduce me to sprayingπ You should definitely try it some day, it's so satisfying.
Incredible oil painting! The blue tit looks lifelike right down to the fine details of the feathers on its head. Even your initial sketch is incredible! ππ¨π©βπ¨π―
Thank you so much @ninahaskin, I appreciate your kind words and you being here! πΈ
Great wildlife paintingπ
Thank you @caydenshan, I appreciate! π
This piece looks really realistic!!! You should do more of oil is easy to manipulate rather than acrylics that dries almost immediately!!! Dope piece
Thank you so much @artsbreezy01! Yes, since I discovered oils, I do only oil paintings. For me, it's definitely more satisfying and relaxing to paint with oils than with acrylics and I like the result much more because it looks more alive. π
Absolutely @ceciliad.art !! I hope to see more of your works
Thank you @artsbreezy01, I'm happy to hear that you're interested in seeing my art! π
Beautiful painting!
Thank you @alarconzeu! ππ
To be honest, for the first time, it looked like a photographed bird, appreciated effort.
I like sketches with lead pencil and coloured pencils,
Thank you so much for your words @ayesha-malik! I'm happy to hear that it looks so realistic to you, that was definitely one intention of mine.
So nice that you like drawing with lead pencil and coloured pencils! What do you like to draw? π
I draw random things but multiple times they are thoughtful,(apart from only drawing fishes of my syllabus books. π)
Last time I tried drawing following the method by Instagram reel drawing for kids π
That's awesome. Also that you followed a method, even if it's drawing for kids. We have to start somewhere. Hope it worked. And drawing is lots of fun. π
Excellent start with the oil painting, it is beautiful.
Thank you very much @pigritia, I appreciate! πΈ
