I've discovered that everything I dislike about oil paint is negated by painting on bristol. Oil is now my new best friend.
I painted all day. This is the first result. Painted alla prima (finished all at one time) in maybe... an hour and a half. Something like that. it's 9" by 6"
I maaay get back into it and flesh out some areas later on. I'm not certain yet.
Nice job! Bristol you say? I've only tried canvas in recent years, did a bit of poster board back in school. Did you use anything to thin it down?

Oooh This is a very nice piece. I like how the sea monster fits in with the swirling waves. I would leave it the way it is or that effect might be lost. ^^6 Nice work as always!
Yeah, bristol. It soaks up some of the excess oil so it dries faster. It also dulls down the shine. I did! I used a special mix: equal parts of turp, damar varnish, and linseed oil.
