I don't really post enough of my oil paintings online (or maybe I just don't paint enough), but I really am devoting more and more of my time to it. Part of me feels like it's a little easier than digital painting to be honest... I just like being able to feel the brush against the canvas, it gives me a little more of a feeling for the painting??? I know most people feel the other way around so it's more likely I'm just not using Photoshop properly!

This was supposed to be a painting of a lovely picture of Saoirse Ronan from Vogue last year. It looks nothing like the picture, but I liked the sort of loose style to it mid-way through and left it as is... it's all about the learning process right now.

Well I think the sense about being able to touch the canvas, and smell the painting is much more "intense". Intese in that sense it is more right here right now, and you can have it in your hands. While digital drawing / painting. You can not touch it. You can not smell or feel it the same way while you create it. I am more of a traditional artist myself, so I know what you are talking about. I have it like you. But I really love you painting! So keep up the good work, and go post some more if you have more!!!

I totally agree, I think it's easier to interact with it through touch and sense more than with digital media. Thanks so much!
