I decided that I had to get back into oils. I love the workability of them. I've chickened out and used watercolors and acrylics outdoors until this past week, but forced myself to load the easel with the oil supplies.Getting used to wet on wet again has been a challenge but hopefully I'm back in the "Groove".Yesterday the light was fantastic on these desert flowers and cactus.DetailsBrian
Looks really nice!Never had the courage to do plein air. A neighbor keeps asking me to try, but then again he is a professional mural painter.So my cowardice continues.Like your work, keep up the oils!Hope to see your next work soon.Charles
Hey Charles, glad you enjoyed the thread. You can overcome your anxiety, go out and paint!Thanks Nolan for the comments, always welcome and helpful.This weeks Urban Sketch was in the "Old Town" section of Casa Grande Arizona.The light was focused on the yellow wall and blue sign and the old pickup truck attracted my eye too.DetailsBrian
That's cheap 90lb watercolor paper from Micheals.. I picked up the wrong block of paper! I wanted 140 lb. I recently bought a block of 140 lb Arches to try but haven't had a chance to try it yet. we are getting the RV ready for our summer adventure in the North West. We leave April 1st for California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming.I tend to paint watercolors in the summer and oils/acrylic in the winter.Brian
I went to see the Van Gogh exhibit today.
