This is oil, but water-oil. So no white spirit or terebenthine, just water!

I have never tried oil or even gouache or acrylic, or making a “realistic” portrait before, I must say it’s crazy fun!

You can go back, redo, move whole lines just by pushing the paint (I do tend to put down a ton of paint though) even days later!

Lots of work still to be done though.
