He does a suicide prevention charity, and he asked if I could do a painting of guys who took their lives. I told him to just donate the money to the charity, cuz i couldn't accept money for that. Pluuusss it's also still being worked on because I've been super busy with sculpture and photo the past semester. Long story short, as long as I can make people something that will make them happy, yeah.Good on you.How different is it to do oil paintings when compared to different styles? Like does it take longer and is harsher or?Sorry, I've just never met someone who does oil paintingsI personally like oils best because of how long they take to dry, which is good and bad. But I'm really meticulous when I paint and need to blend all my edges, which oils are great for. But they're a bitch to clean up. But'll I'll admit I'm not very good with abstract painting, and generally need some kind of subject matter.SpoilerLike this was all oil, with only a deep red, a light turquoise, and white.
