Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything here, and I really miss this board. There's some very solid art here, and like to get involved in this community. So, I'm gonna try to post my work and I'm hoping for some good critiques. :D

These are 3/8 of a series of oil paintings done about hands. Each is done in a different way, to try to learn painting techniques. Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that I'm in university for art. I plan to post the rest of the series, so I'll make sure to do that when I get them photographed.

The top one was painted only using complimentary grays. This means that all of the colors in this painting were derived from only one hue of blue and one hue of orange (along with black and white for rendering). Pretty cool imo. The second was done only using green, and any tints of green that we wished to use. There was supposed to be 12+ greens, I didn't bother to count how many I actually achieved. The last was done as an impasto, which is only painting with a palette knife.

I'm really starting to love oil painting, and I hope you guys enjoy these pieces!
