Hey,

I truly love oil paints! fabulous! Last night simply involved mixing up some oils, shading in various colours, and then mixing in white and highlighting with them. I’m painting it on, and wiping 99% off again with a dry brush, and it just tints it a tiny bit. Do that enough, and then there’s a really smooth finish. Then you come home the next day, dampen the brush, and feather any rough bits away like using an eraser. Oh yeah!

my paints, the difference between a shaded foot and a non-shaded one, and the face after some shading.

Once it’s been shaded and highlighted, but before it’s been finally tidied up with a dry brush the next day:
