Do you have any tips for me? such as which oil paint you use and how you thin them down? ive tried in the past but could never thin it. Im in desperate need of some pointers so please anything will help. thanks again for posting your beautiful fists

sincerely Gearhart

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

As far as the Oil paint goes, I use Windsor and Newton, the color is Cadmium Yellow. I really dont thin it down I actually mix it with a small, very small amount of artist wax and the simply dry brush the oil paint over a golden yellow base coat. The brushing action helps smooth the paint out, it really spreads well and you do not need much of it. It takes patience and practice to work with oils, just keep working it and you will figure it out.
