No rush on this one!
And you'll see every teeny tiny step!!!
To boost the final saturation and vibrancy of the colours I choose to work starting from bright, colourful mid tones on top of which I'll establish contrasting light and shadows coming out from the powerful basic local tones.

Hello guys!
The new season of painting competitions has started and in the spirit of spring cleaning, itโs time to clean boxes and cabinets to make mental and physical space for new exciting material and... new games!
Iโm not even joking or exaggerating, space is at a premium here, lol!

aaaaand here's the second "augmented reality" reference video from AdeptiCon 2023!
Here you'll find a real time example of a quick, intuitive "alla prima" approach using only fully opaque oil paints (the easiest to manage when you start playing with oils coming from acrylics)!
The paint is used straight from the tube...

And here is the real time footage!
There are some interesting bits in the oil stage where you can see how the work wasn't a totally straight line, but I do some back and forth between shadows, lights and again shadows of the skins to establish a clearer division;
the initial wash was meant only to "stain the canvas" an...

You can probably tell that I had a lot of fun with this one XD
If you are a beginner with the airbrush this is probably the best way to start playing with it! The use is limited to the first sketchy phase where the stakes are super low and everything is quickly and easily fixable, and to the end phase where the high tr...
