So I decided to get a piece of oil work started no matter what, using any surface I could get my hands on so I grabbed a piece that didn’t even have it re-stretch completed and got a team player of transparent maroon oxide onto it which looks pretty bad ass actually.

The 2 inch brush that I used was also perfect and I will be definitely ordering more of those.

It went on like butter and covered the whole surface perfectly and very fast and very even.

Four years before I was being a dumbass where my largest brush was still only a quarter inch or half inch flat and I said they’re trying to cover an entire canvas with it so at least this one commercial brand is working really really well and it’s not a fine art brand otherwise it would probably cost three times the amount.

I might not even do the Picasso but instead just work with the oils on various surfaces to explore what’s possible for the current South Loop painting. There’s quite a few deep earth tones.
