Dimitris, your effort does not seem at all that is the first atempt in oils. I like very much the tunic. Go on !

 

[FigureLover]

Wow, that is very nice indeed, I love the cloak. A little bit more transition between the shadows and the highlights could give the even finish that you have aquired on the cloak. Nice work so far

Good work-will be great to see the completed.

Very good start. The face is great.
I think when you paint with oils, you have to work the first session wet in wet. Then the colors will fade alot better then what I see now. Specially in the bronze is a hard line between base and shade.
