Why Not Just Use It In My Art??? - Tumblr Posts

Heyo, friends! Have this thing I painted yesterday, as a result of wondering what would happen if I mixed charcoal with liquid oil medium :]

Mild cw for blood/graphic imagery, but it's really just some abstract-ish red splatter lmao

The charcoal I used was really roughly ground (I put my charcoal scraps in a little box together with a rock and shake it up every once in a while), so it gave me some really nice texture when I mixed it with the oil medium! The eyebrows and the darkness around the eyes are good examples, as I haven't used anything else there :]

This is honestly just a mindless, self-indulgent scribble (I painted it with a butter knife lmfao-) , but I figured it would be fun to share in case someone might find my little experiment interesting ^-^

I'm thinking about finishing it, but I'm not quite sure how I would do that lmao. I might add in some painted flowers, poppies could look very nice, I imagine!

Spur-of-the-moment experiments aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲
