Not to be caged – oil portrait painting plus video. Watch me paint her

This photo was made in photoshop; however, I’m going to be recreating it as an original oil painting today on a 6×12 inch canvas. I love how an idea for one painting will soon explode into others. I think I wrote about that once or twice before. Haven’t decided yet if it will be black & white or color. Stay tuned to find out what I ended up doing. 

Not To Be Caged

She is not to be caged, or at least that the look she was giving me as I painted her. This is an oil portrait painting on hardboard panel.

The oil paint I’m using in this painting is Gamblin. I also used Gamsol and Galkyd to thin the paint just slightly, which are also by Gamblin. You will find these products at your local art supply store or online.
