Extending specialist techniques.

These are two paintings for my specialist techniques project. I used oils on top of prints. I've been finding oils quite difficult to use, but enjoyed doing these portraits. I like that they are quite messy. The second image is my favourite. I think it worked well. I like the texture you can create using oils. Although they do take forever to dry! Which is sometimes a good thing, but when I'm trying to get them into my sketchbook it sucks!
I'm still not very sure where I'm going with this project. I'm going to continue doing portraits and playing with oils, and see where it takes me :s
