Hey there Steemians!
I have continued with the use of oil painting. I had never painted a face with this painting. But since i have done it with colored pencils, i thought that this would be the same. I must say it's much harder, maybe i see it this way because i'm not used to oil painting, but i had a lot of fun. Here i bring you the sample of my learning, the girl with bewitching eyes.
Materials that i used:
HB graphite pencil, eraser, oil paints, brushes, sheet of paper, oil to dilute the paint.
Below i show you the step by step:
Step 1: As in every drawing, i made the sketch, i used the HB graphite pencil and an eraser.
Step 2: I painted the right eye of the face and part of the skin.
Step 3: I added a base of paint to the rest of the skin of the face and lips.
Step 4: I added the details to the face
Step 5: Finally the hair, first i added the base of black paint and then the lights with a very fine brush.
I hope you enjoyed!
I say goodbye steemit, not without first, thank you all for supporting my work, them for reading and devoting a little of their time.
"To be happy, we have to start loving ourselves and our work!"
Until next time!

howdy from Texas francisftlp! I was cruising along when your title caught my eye when it said "first portrait" because I thought I wonder how good someone's first painting could be?
well I'm glad I checked this out because I think it pretty remarkable!
If this is your first then I think you have a bright future as a portrait painter!

This is a very good attempt for your first oil painting, Francis. I like that part of her face is hidden, it gives her an aura of mystery.
Well done.

You really did an amazing job for your first try! I love her hair and how you made it to hide part of her face, it gives her some kind of attitude which I kinda like.
Amazing, You will only get better!!

Oh wow! This is beautiful! I can't believe this is your first portrait using oil paints. This is just incredible and I am honestly having a difficult time finding words to describe how amazing I find this. I always admire anyone who can draw and this is just simply, mesmerizing!

Great job in rendering the piece. For a moment, I thought this was done through water color. You definitely know your anatomy and proportions. :D
