This is my turpentine and liquin.

This is untitled still. Again, this is an experiment at portraiture, and is unfinished. I want it to have a very loose look, with visible brush strokes, like my painting "The Defiant" below. The shadows need to be developed, but so far I like how it looks.

I started by lightly sketching her out (something I usually like to skip) and then I made a light-brown wash of odorless turpentine and sealed the lines. After it was relatively dry, I used darker and lighter washes to represent the high and low lights. I let it dry completely, and then began using my oils with Winsor & Newton liquin. They have amazing materials!
