I did a new oil painting last night. It looks all right I think. It's got some pretty heavy layers of wax and paint so It will be a while before its dry enough to take out and photograph, and it will never be scannable.
I've noticed a trend when I pick up a panel to do an abstract, I tend to lean towards Greens or Purples. I wonder why that is? It's not really something I see mirrored in all my work, just in abstract.
I wonder who else has little quirky things like that? Do share :D
It's weird..I always lean towards greens and blues with my abstract stuff...and it always ends up bending towards funky veiled or melting women XD My abstract mind is odd.
ReplyDeleteI really do want to play with oils though. I ran away screaming the first time I tried them.
Oils are a strange beast XD
ReplyDeleteMY recommendations are: don't use turpentine, use Odourless Mineral Spirits (Gamsol, or Stevensons if you can get it). then you avoid that horrid stink that comes with the painting (but still work well ventilated).
I love greens! i have such fantastic greens I cant help but use them HAHA!
something about the deep richness of purple and blue always draws me in though!
haha!
