Dry brushing in oil

Has anyone tried using the oil drybrushing technique for painting portraits on an acrylic board instead of the usual watercolour paper? Would love to hear how it went.

I recently finished a workshop for portraits and that is the method the instructor used. I usually paint oils ala prima so This method was new to me as well as a portrait in oils. I used a oil primed linen canvas board but you could use a acrylic based board just as well.
Hope this helped

I really liked the method and would try it again. Thought Iā€™d include the portrait

A lovely piece of work. Looking forward to your next piece of work using the dry brushing technique.

I am delighted, the painting is beautiful. :slightly_smiling_face:
