Red pepper study (2025) - Oil on panel 12x12cm Curious how I finished this painting? I’ve added the steps on how I do this: 1. I first block in the colors roughly. I pick a thick haired brush to achieve a rougher finish. 2. Once blocked in, it’s easier to compare the image with the result. I purposefully stand at arms length. This method allows me to get the general tones right first without losing myself too much in the details. 3. Finally I take a fine small brush to refine the details. Depending on how refined I want them to be I might let the painting dry first. With this one, I kept it rough, so I painted wet-in-wet. 4. Result. Thanks to @GoldfishThumb1 for suggesting adding some tutorials. Like if you’d like to see more of these. #art #artstr #oilpainting #oilpainttutorial #paintingtutorial #howto #tutorial
