Oil Lift Out Practice

These are practice pieces I did in class for the oil lift out technique. I drew the image on a gessoed matte board and then painted a very thinned down layer of oil paint over the entire thing. Then, while the image was still wet, I lifted out the lights using straight paint thinner on my brush. There are obviously some issues with each of these pieces, but I like the overall effect. Once I get my final piece done, I'll post it on here.

Photo Transfer Practice

These are practice pieces I did during class. I drew the image and inked it, and then made a reverse - photocopy of it. Then I used a Chartak blender to transfer the image onto some old matte board and painted it using really thin layers of acrylics.
