Looks dope. Especially considering its acrylic

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. :)

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.

I love her! You really captured how soft she is. I just want to pet her!!!

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

Yes when I was painting her I just wanted to reach into her folds!

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

You sir are the cow Meister

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.

Haha, someone gets me!
