Yea, they are painful to do. Not that I hate it, I love painting, but it takes time and resources.
You need this:
1. A painting of that size needs an empty and dedicated room. Reason being: A lot of the paint gets splashed around. Oil point sticks were it settles, and has to be removed using petrol / turpintie / linsead oil. Place smells up too...!
2. It takes around 1-2 months to complete that. Cause the paint has to be left to dry, and then fresh layers applied on. 5-6 hours per day.
3. Oil paints are quite expensive. You need linseed oil / turpentine / oil paint also. Paint brushes, sables. Mixing boards. Canvas and spray paint to adhere the charcoal - which- is the outline.
4. Time and time.
See above. I sketch still.these are very good... but 18- 19 yrs ago? you should do some now..
By the way, regarding the 2nd painting: read this:
I have done more oils, but this is another one I had clicked. Am really happy I found the image. There is no way what so ever I will ever get to see this painting again in reality. It is in a house (I had gifted it) -and- we had a big family feud, so cannot enter the house anymore.
The deal here was: It was supposed to be hung up in a huge hall. So I made it in such a manner that it will look classic when seen from a distance. If you see it from a computer screen, does not look that good. Step like like 3-4 feet and then look at it. It will all gel in quite better. The oil paint was applied on really really dense, the huts were done using a scalpel painting knife, and the reflections of the boats had to be staged. I painted in the water till the edges of the boats, let the paint dry (takes ages); and overlay the reflection on top. Same with the foliage of the trees, which I induced using cloth dipped in oil paint+turpintine+linseed oil mix. Also as a rule for this painting: I never applied black or white as a direct stroke. I always mixed it in with semi-tone of something similar to what I wanted. A lot of tubes went into this, reason being that the color mixing and toning was done on the canvas. At some points, I was not satisfied, so had to let the paint dry and then scrape it off with a blade. Cannot wipe it off, cause it will smudge other correct areas. Progress was slow here.
This would again be 18-19 years of age.
