This is a still life I did to try something different. Not intended to be realism at all. I'm just not sure what style this became but here we are.
Oil on canvas.

I know you can’t reply with images in this sub, so make a new post. Would love to see what y’all are been cooking.

Doesnt allow me to write the word "midnight" for some reason, but its titled midnight glow! Just finished my most recent oil painting 24x36in oil on canvas

Looking for information on the artist (maux) and the style of art this painting might be.

So I started painting with oil colours a few months ago and decided to paint on of my travel photos from this year at the beach of Birling gap and the seven sisters during sunset. (Gesso primed paper)

Wet on wet. Oil paint. Pretty basic but I had fun

One of my favorite recent paintings. 16 x 24 oil on canvas.

I’m planning on adding some gold leaf to an oil painting I’m working on after it dries and I am very stuck on finding an oil based size. I want to use real gold leaf (23.5k) and I found that the wintor and newton japan gold size was recommended online but it is out of stock everywhere, like they stopped making it. I saw that gamblin (the brand I use for my paints) makes a pva size, but it is meant for a primer type based layer and I am unsure if I can use it for metal leafing. For more context, my painting is gamblin 1980 paints mixed with Galkyd lite and I will be sealing it with gamvar varnish. Does anyone have any advice on this? Can I use the gamblin brand pva or is there another product that is certified to work with metal leafing on oil canvas painting?

How do you all light your workspace such that you don’t get glare off the wet paint? I’m experimenting with soft back lighting, but in the end that just puts my canvas in shadow…

luckily, they’re all almost all used up. after much research, decided to get old Holland next. also blew through a set of winton which I didn’t really like, but I can’t say why. The old Holland is on sale for $120 for a nice looking set. I saw the gamblin sets like 80 bucks. I was tantalized by a 40 tube ($70) set of paul rubens but can’t find much info or reviews on that brand, Anyone have an opinion? two videos on YouTube made it look decent. A little apprehensive about jumping into the best or near the best oil paint but Yolo.🤣

I have an unfinished painting that I last touched four years ago. I sanded over some parts to even out the texture. I don't want to paint over it entirely, I want to keep some of the work and finish it. I know oiling out is a good way to revive the colours to be able to accurately paint around it with fresh paint.

My question is - is it possible to oil out using solely linseed oil or walnut oil, provided I wipe out the excess, without breaking the fat-over-lean rule? If yes, how long till I can safely paint over it? If not, is solvent-free thinner (Sennelier Green for oil) either alone or mixed with oil a safe way to oil out without running into issues later? I've read that these eco thinners have a long drying time compared to solvents.

I would like to avoid solvents if possible. I have some odourless mineral spirits from Pebeo on hand, but I don't exactly have a well-ventilated room.
