discussion 1/9 Wellington 'v' bust - My First Ever Bust

[Dave Ward]

I'm calling this one finished! - I could tinker with it for a long time, but get not much further.....................

I've learnt a lot from this - main one being I have a lot more to learn about using oils! The eyes were a real struggle, they're not brilliant now, but at least next time I know what NOT to do. Using a mix of acrylics and oils works OK, but the times I washed my oil paint brush in water ( for the acrylics! )!
This gentleman will be my next bust, but that will be later in the year


Thanks all for dropping by!
Cheers, Dave
