I paint: My first Oil Painting

I bought these painting stuffs this afternoon.

Palette knife,


and Oil paint.


I haven't used oil paint since gradeschool.
At first, I felt bit awkward using such medium but as I go on with the challenge, I find it gratifying!

So, what made me bought these supplies and tried using palette knife?
Simple. The answer is ENVY.
lol
Yeah. You read it right.
E.N.V.Y.

I went to DH's blog and saw his latest painting.
I was amazed. Seriously!
I've have asked my co-faculty as well as Kuya TGT about the palette thing before and I decided to try it once I consumed all the previous acrylic paints that I bought.
But because of DH's obra, I again came up with a decision that I really should try it ASAP.

And so I did.

Here's the result..


My first ever OIL painting.

By the way, in case you can't figure out what it is... lol
It's a simple flower box along the road with a parked bicycle behind it.
