My Way With Oils

[Ron Tamburrini]

Nice colors. Bought today the makeup brushes, and I gonna try your technique.

Marc

Careful Marc !! make up brushes can lead to other things

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Ron,... Ron T,.. Has got 'Make-up', brushes, nail varnish!... and was enquiring about a piece called, 'A fairey wear's boots'... Hmm!

Ron T.... the game is up!

Ron, what a striking, colour you have used for his cloak!... and the explanation of your colour mix!... It does power into the eye!... It all seems so simple when reading! ......Grrrrrrr! This is going to be fantastic piece to see in its complete form. I like many others appreciate your time and effort, in doing this. It is so good!

Thanks a lot Mark it means a great deal. When this bust was first released it was duly noted that it lacks historical accuracy but, as I said before, for me it is about the pleasure I derive from seeing what I can do with it. This one seemed an ideal subject to play around with colours and finishes. I am glad that you are enjoying this thread and hope the final piece meets your expectations. If it helps others to view oils as a more versatile medium than they thought, then I will have succeeded in giving back to the members of PF, a little of what I have gained.

Cheers

Ron

I paint today with your method a sash.
Unbelieveble how quick it goes with great result.
Question: I started with the shading color and above that the base etc.
Now for the highlight let you dry it first, or are you paint the highlights more then one time (makeup between every run) untill you get "the look".

Hi Marc, Glad your enjoying the results. By shading colour do you mean the 'scrub' coat, and the 'base' being your first layer of oil colour. If so, then you can choose to remove all the colour from the hi-lite areas and go straight in with your chosen colour. Or, you can leave a thin glaze of the previous colour on the hi-lites which will give the hi-lites an undertone of the mid colour. If you choose the second, then let it dry. This is useful when working with yellows or red. You can thin back between each colour with the make-up brush if you want very subtle hi's or, apply the colour mixed darker, for a one coat layer when thinned back. This is one of the advantages of this technique, in that you have several choices to achieve different results.
I always apply the rule of " keep the brush clean' for the best and, most subtle, results'. Hope this helps, but if you need any more help just ask.

Regards

Ron

Ron T,. (lol).. Of course, I'm a big fan!.., However, not the 'Cathy Bates', type.... although I do like the name Cathy!. ..... Ron, is helping me so much, in bettering my painting skills, with different methods and techniques etc. Who could help being a fan!

Sincerely,

Cathy, xx. Sorry! Mark

Ok Marc, let me know how it goes mate.

[Tubby-Nuts-REMOVED]

Ron, this is the Medieval linen weave, for cloaks, that I talked about!.. but the wool is much finer!

Mark

 

[kagemusha]

That would fit with my wire brush thoughts. For the wool I think spray mount would work well. Should have next update posted 2nite or 2moro evening.
