I just can't get past wanting to paint in oils the way I do with watercolors; in many layers.<br />Keep up the good work! <br />Barbara FoxBarbara Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820843670414618033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-19956660172198120972009-06-26T18:41:27.371-07:002009-06-26T18:41:27.371-07:00Love Penny!

I'm still at the plop a blob method but I'm going to try and incorporate some of your tips. Have you tried Winsor & Newton 's Brush Cleaner & Restorer? It's great. <br /><br />My mentor uses olive oil to loosen paint from the brushes and then hand cleans them by rubbing them on their side on a bar of Dove soap.

For someone "out of control" you sure kept it together on the canvas.<br /><br />I enjoyed your insights on using oils. I haven't used oils in years (since having kids and needing to keep the fumes out of the house). Now that I'm addicted to acrylics I don't know if I'll ever go back...-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.com
