Back to Black

150cm by 140cm painting of water dripping down one of my friends' face. The title 'Back to Black" is basically an Amy Winehouse song I was listening to at the time and thought, "Hmm...this could actually fit the painting."

[@graffigdesign8977]

Hi Clavers. What do you mix with your oils paint to get such wide coverage and smooth finish. Love this piece btw 👍🏻❤️

[@ClaversOdhiamboArt]

For this painting I used the oil as it comes from the tube but lately I've been mixing it with a little linseed oil to get more coverage.

[@graffigdesign8977]

@@ClaversOdhiamboArt that's great! Thank you so much for getting back to me and giving the advice :) Take care

[@abrahamsecoe87]

Absolutely beautiful. How long have you been painting sir?
