My third oil painting is sticking with the theme of the expressive nature of hands. I also wanted to try adding some cloth as part of the subject.

Backgrounds are still difficult to come up with, but I liked how the dark background really brings out the subjects. Something to keep working on.

In my second oil painting, I decided to look for an alternative surface to the canvas that I used on the first. I didn't like the texture and stretch of the canvas. I now know that I am just using cheap materials!

So, I moved to a thin wood board and learned yet another thing: I needed to gesso the surface in preparation of paint!

Here, I also started working on human anatomy, specifically the hands. I just love how expressive they can be. Besides, I am a biology teacher mostly focusing on humans, so it makes sense.

I have been trying to learn oil painting all year in 2022. I have made a bit of progress and learned quite a bit about the process.

This was the very first painting that I attempted in oils. There are still a lot of mistakes that I notice, but these are helpful in learning better technique for future paintings.
