Paint LOOSE Portraits Like a Sculptor

[@SonnyBurnett2012]

I see your brushes hairs are kinda soft arent they? I thought they should be kinda hard. Tell me...what are your mediums percentage. Thx

A lot of the time I just use linseed oil to make the paint run a little smoother. This painting is all linseed oil as medium. I also like to use a 50/50 mix of stand oil and odorless mineral spirits

I carve wood and stone- gouges. chisels. mallets, hammers rasps and files are my primary tools. I do draw and sketch but haven’t tried painting yet- this helps me look at painting in a familiar way. Thank you!

You are very welcome!

Can this method also be applied to acrylic paintings?

[@joshsorrell]

It can be! It's a little trickier with acrylic because it dries so darn fast!
