René Aigner's Sketchbook

[ReneAigner]

No update in a long time! Have been swamped with work and I'm also in the process of finishing up my degree thesis for uni, so free time has been sparse. I needed to get away from the computer during breaks, so personal paintings in digital were off the table... That's when I discovered watermixable oil colours. Been painting at night when work/uni is done. It's been fun and painting purely for myself in a medium I have no knowledge of is quite refreshing. Hadn't painted with oils ever before and the last time I painted traditionally on a regular basis (in watercolours... the horror) was in school, about 7 years ago. Anyways, here are my very first 3 attempts at oil painting. Just painting in monochrome for now, I have enough on my hands with mixing and generally just handling brushes. I use Winsor&Newton Artisan WMOs, and I've got a shipment of cobra WMO's incoming (Zorn palette when I feel safe enough to try my hand at colour). Cheers & sorry for the lack of updates.
