Oil painting

Oil paint assignment

We tried out oil painting for the first time last year, and we were to paint a flower (image provided). Oil painting has been around since the 15th Century, with the renowned painting "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci as an example. My first encounter with it so far, and I feel that oil paint on canvas is a really great medium that allows very easy blending. In other words, it's a really forgiving medium :-) I really enjoyed the experience as I was given the freedom to experiment then go over my mistakes with just another stroke of my brush. What I think helped me alot was my patient nature hahaha. Blending requires alot of patience.

Anyway, my little canvas was put up for exhibition!
