My First Oil Painting -Still Life - Black & White

9:43 PM

The past 3 days, I have been busy working on my FIRST oil painting for my oil painting class, and I am happy with the finished painting! :D

I never worked with oil painting, and soo...I was really frustrated with the steps of working with oil painting, everything was just so opposite from what I am used to with water coloring and working with acrylics. I'm still getting the hang of oil painting and the steps and how to paint in a orderly manner.

Man, there's soo many steps! O.o I don't like it..... -.-.

Anyways on to the painting, around Wednesday and Thursday, I started coming around to my painting and I started to like how it was turning out. :) Since I think oil painting is tedious, I wasn't picky with how I worked and only cared to get the shading, the lightening right and to make my objects have a smooth finish.

I didn't really care too much for the table cloth.... :P lol I HATE painting in the table cloths! -.- They're annoying!

Overall, I think I'll be getting a C, and I'm honestly fine with that, because I am a total beginner and I'm just learning for myself and understanding oil painting. :) Usually this is NOT my attitude, I LOOOOVE GETTING A's, and I always have gotten A's in all the art classes I took, but this time around, I'm going to approach things differently, and just learn oil painting and not be all like, "I want to be TOP STUDENT" and all. But once I get oil painting down and I do become good at it, I'll get back to my competitive ways. :D

These are my fav parts of the painting,
