Hi Krysta! You did a great job on your first oil painting. Blending oil paint is easier than you think. Pull the edge of your color in or out depending on the direction of your light, also let it dry a bit several hours or overnight before working the paint. You'll find that blending oils is much e...

Krysta, keep it up with the oils. This is "The Medium". If you have the space and the money then you need to stay on this path. There is a need to be more attentive when working with oil paints. Some of your materials may be flamable and or toxic . So be aware of the properties of your ma...

Krysta....great job!!! I have to agree with everyone else's comments and you did a wonderful job for the first time. It takes alot of time and patience to do oils and I commend you at that. Congrats on a job well done!! Linda Oh Linda, thank you , thank you , thank you!!! Your comments are always s...

K, I think you,ll do just fine with the oils. I would advise you to continue useing the oils. One of the big things about painting with oil. Is it,s reguard on the art market. It sells better. More well thought of. More doors will open. At art galleries and art shows. You see more oils than anythin...

Brilliant Krysta! My first oils were AWFUL! BUT I've kept them. If this is the beginning then you are going to become a MASTER (mistress?) at oils. Painted in your inimitable style too. 9/10 Brilliant!!!!!! Your skill, ability and confidence grows as our group of illiant artists grows older. Big th...

-laughs- that's a very good way to put it! Thanks, Krysta, you made me smile :) hahahaha Sara, I didn't say a word here yet. Why I made you laugh????? I love every piece of art you created and it is not funny. OK?! :P I must tell you Sara, that Michael is very intelligent artist and he knows how to...

Bravo Krysta! I love the texture and the figure, and the horse is very expressive! I agree with finalprodigy on using a bit more graduation in values. Did you mix your blacks or did you use black straight from tube? If from tube, try mixing your own next time as it gives the black more depth. Other...

Wow, Krysta! My first oil painting wasn`t nearly as good as this! I really like your textures and the poses of the figures. My only advice is for you to balance the piece a bit more and add some gradiations in color values. That would definitly add even more depth to the piece. I usually make the b...

Krysta; You, Barb, and I are the same when it comes to self teaching techniques. Neither of us have had any formal schooling in art and are on a journey to reach our full potentials. It looks like your journey is being traveled very smoothly. I, on the other hand am struggling trying to teach mysel...
