Here's a little bit of my process I go through when I paint. I really wish I'd taken some earlier photos as there is quite a jump from the pencils to the first picture in color. I usually work with reference but not always. (Good luck trying to get me to post that) I'm trying to use reference to get that lifelike quality but not be a slave to it. I don't want just photo reproductions.
I use Rembrandt paints, Utrecht brushes, and for my medium, it's a mix of 1/2 refined linseed oil, 1/2 turpernoid, and a few drop of cobalt dryer so that it dries almost overnight. Some colors take a little longer. One day when I have time I'll do a more in depth tutorial.
Special thanks to artist Dan Dos Santos (although he doesn't know it) for recommendations on supplies and technique. I use many of the same materials that he does though no where near to the level that he does.
