full oil painting progress steps on witch/banshee creature girl

first step- underpainting

 charcol startup with acrylic burnt umber washed background, dry
i did this because oil backgrounds dont dry fast enough, so sometimes you pull it up when you make strokes

 some hair and face rendering

 little bit more mouthy goodness

 went back into the hair more, refined a little here and there, and started the horizon background, all of these pictures are wet and glary, so the colors arnt as true

finished howling undead oil painting

95% finished product, i might go back in and render some parts of her face, probably a 5-6 hour painting, trying to get faster, and more productive at rendering paintings so i can participate in more art shows/gallery's around the twin city's, they give me excitement and publicity. this final picture was taken inside in my laundry room (lol) so as you can see the florescent lighting opposed to super straight on natural light have different properties with color.

iv been enjoying the oils, even went and bought some new walnut based oils, in hopes to get a better pigment saturation, plus they dry longer, opposed to normal linseed from what i understand, i cut my oils with a fast drying solution regardless, im mainly worried about keeping a palette open and workable for a few weeks without too much of a pudding skin ... this witch.. banshee.. screaming hoe was done in linseed oils, and some 7.75 dollar paint set my dad bought when he was stationed in japan for the Vietnam war
