Thanks, I do the base in acrylic and then work oil on top!

That’s how I usually paint as we,I struggle with acrylics and oils just seem to bring it all to life.Great job on the painting!

Yes and you get the benefit of a quick drying underpainting and then the richness of oils later. :)

Yes you do and even if it seems like extra work at the time the end result is worth it :)

What does it mean? A muzzle on the cows mouth?

Desi is the type of cattle it is. The muzzle is a rein like horses use.

Ah I see! Interesting concept for this piece. And the details on the neck are great too

Have you ever tried completing one of these in Acrylic or is that more trouble than it’s worth?

Aw thank you! I haven’t and I think I just prefer oils now. I believe there is a saying that goes “painting in acrylics will help you realize wether you’re a oil painter or watercolor painter”!

I get that impression as well - Unfortunately - because oils drive me insane with the dry times and I’m not drawn to watercolors at all.. but anyway, awesome work. And apologies if you are not a sir, that possibility only just occurred to me

Yes am a sir indeed. I advise you to look up ‘liquin’ it’s a medium you add the he paint (20% roughly to 80% paint) and it speeds the drying time SUPER fast I.e a day or two.
