My grandfather recently passed and I got all his oil paints. I didn’t want to clean brushes so I tried some knife painting. This is my first ever attempt with oils. Miss ya gramps ❤️

Still working on it

First attempt to paint figures in a landscape. First time painting figures also. Appreciate your feedback for improvement. I’ll post reference photo in comments. Oil on 22 x 30 canvas.

I accidentally discovered Michael's Artist Loft Sorrento angle brushes a few years ago. I love how stiff they are, how sharp their edges are, and how the hairs spring back into shape after using and abusing them. The small ones (2s & 4s) are so precise and can make very sharp lines while holding so much paint. They've been discontinued. Does anyone know of any good substitutes?

Hogs hair angle brushes tend to not have very sharp edges. Synthetic hairs (like Black Swan or that stiffer orange hair that's pretty common) are too soft for me. Help?

Paint is still wet so foreground trees will dry with less sheen

Hello!

I am a fellow semi advanced oil painter, looking to push my skill set further. I would love to find a workshop taught by a professional oil painter with a more classical approach. Does anybody know where I can find a workshop like this? I’m open to online, but I would much prefer an in person workshop. I am currently in New York City.

Thanks in advance!
