Water mixable oils - Macaw

[Toolman]

Details

I have not submitted anything for a long time but liked the idea of the water mixable oils. Unfortunately I haven't had my painting gear for six months and this is my way back in. The paints are a cheapo brand but worked ok and I had to rip an A4 canvas page  out to get something to paint on. I didn't have the correct colours so just worked with what I had and made up a few so I could knock this up this afternoon.
All my previous stuff has been acrylics. Good topic and instruction thanks Nolan, when I get all my gear back I will have a decent crack at it.

Nice job on the Macaw, Toolman. This painting was a lot of fun to do. How do you like the WAMO paints?

[MaryAnne Long]

Toolman,

You certainly did well with the Make-do supplies you had to work with.

Great background.  Lots of texture to the parrot.  Good eye.

Nice work.

Hope to stay around for a long time.  Want to see more of your work.

  Hey Toolman!!! Great to see you back.

Great job here, especially with all the shortcomings! Looking forward to seeing more works from you. 

[Toolman]

Thanks Steve, Mea and Val for your interest and time. Steve I am beginning to enjoy some of the attributes of water mixable oil.

Lovely WAMO painting Toolman!
I discovered Cobra WAMOs in my drawer and intend to learn to use these with Nolans teaching.
Have just started and since I don't have experience with oils at all, I am liking these WAMOS very much. Especially the idea of washing brushes with water.
This is my start. Nolan, thank you for all the wonderful information and class.
I am sharing the process of painting with you. All comments are welcome.

Marvelous start Gita!  Your detailing on the face is looking very good. For a first go you are off to an excellent start. 

[Gita]

Thanks Mea and Val. At present I have this crazy feeling- it's almost a craving to be creative.
So I started the WAMOs.

[Steve Weatherwax]

Nice start, Gita! I had a lot of fun painting this macaw. Can't wait to see your finished work.
