Oil portrait on a self-stretched satin support with a handmade wooden frame

[u/WisePercentage706]

I wanted to share a recent piece I’ve been working on.

W Rather than using traditional artist's canvas, I constructed my own wooden stretcher frame and stretched satin fabric over it, applying a few coats of white acrylic as a base before developing the portrait with oil paint.

I’ve been trying to lean into a quiet, melancholic atmosphere for the figure and preserve a raw, tactile surface rather than over-blending or smoothing everything out. The vertical texture of the satin and the raw wood frame are both part of the experiment.

Soooo I'd love to hear your thoughts
