My third oil

pretty decent for first atempts. I just started painting too so I can relate to the initial frustration of not being able to control the paint. Just remember the fundamentals and you'll do fine. I usually start by mapping out where the darks go in my head and then I look for the lightest light and observe how everything falls in between the two. I practice the Alla Prima style of painting and I don't usually rework anything.

Yeah, at this point, I've only been doing a la prima. I just think I'll learn more that way. i like painting fast.
