Hello ArtPark fam! ❤️ Done with my oil painting study of hydrangea. I just love this flower so much and I hope to make more paintings of them. To share, the medium I'm using to dilute the oil paint is a mixture of stand oil and odorless mineral spirit. I increase the ratio of stand oil to the mineral spirit as I work on each layer just so I follow the rule of fat over lean. My favorite brand of oil paint and oil medium to use is Windsor and Newton. The reference photo I used is from a cap of a tin can I bought from a local store. I wish you all a productive and cozy day. 🥰 #hydrangea #flower #oilpainting #art

Miss Lara, The Queen Of Painting, your highness, I can almost breath the essence of those flowers. It's an incredible drawing. I'm impressed for the volume I can perceive, the deepness of each bouquet, oh! I just love it 👏👏👏
Oh please, no... I'm not the queen of painting. 😅 YOU are! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you very much for having confidence in my work. I really do appreciate it. 🥰 My real name is April. I'm glad I have met you through this platform. ❤️
Nice to meet you, April. You have a cute name. I'm not even a Duchess of Painting. Yesterday I discovered I was using my acrylics incorrectly. Didn't knew what gesso was... There's a long way for me, but I'm enjoying every step 😁 In your painting I see a lot of experience and that's inspiring 💛
