Oils

Well decided recently to give my hand at using oil paints..wow! Big difference vs Acrylics. Looking back I'm surprised never used oils until now. Even in Art class we never explored in using paints. After looking at the price tag on oils can see why. I managed to pick up a starter set from local hobby store for around twenty five bucks. Have to say I really like using oils on larger size minis (tried on 28mm and was horrible). My first test with oils was on the Brom Bust from Enigma miniatures. Great sculpt and surprisingly no mold lines that I could find. As I'm still a newbie with oils didn't quite use them as well as should have. Managed to use Linseed oil a bit more than should I'm thinking. Brom came out looking like I sprayed him down with baby oil or something. Either way decided to pick up some matte finish in a bottle that I used to spray on with my airbrush. He still has a bit of shine to him. There is some areas I could touchup and finish I'm sure...but I just wanted to see how I could do with oils. Blending was a breeze vs Acrylics. Only downside the drying time...went and picked up a hair dryer hoping this would help. Sure I looked weird at the store with a hairdryer and having no hair. Well here he is..enjoy! Thanks for looking btw!
