Makes cleaning up so much easier. There are also something new, called Oilbars - oil paint in a solid stick - rather like a giant lipstick. I had a basic set for Christmas, and have yet to get to grips with them, even after watching several U tube videos on the subject. They are very strange to use.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-10714292345471026282017-04-22T15:29:34.454+01:002017-04-22T15:29:34.454+01:00Such an interesting technique YPSuch an interesting technique YPThe Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-84868477530895855852017-04-22T14:01:07.873+01:002017-04-22T14:01:07.873+01:00I just entered a post and then inadvertently hit &...I just entered a post and then inadvertently hit "sign out". Phooey! I'll try again.<br /><br />You can get that effect by using acrylic paints (thick and water-based). I never did like oil paints, but do love thick, gooshy acrylics. Also they can be thinned and used more like traditional watercolors.<br /><br />Also, you can paint over watercolor and not get "mud", although it's tricky. The first paint application must be totally dry. Subsequent layer(s) can be applied very carefully, using transparent pigments applied with only one pass. It might be something to experiment with.<br /><br />I started out painting with watercolor and did so exclusively for years. I had to use oil paints in college, but never did like them. About 10-12 years ago, I changed to acrylics exclusively - sometimes thick and impasto, and sometimes thinned. They're fun to use and extremely versatile. I must admit that, for a variety of reasons, I haven't painted in 4-5 years. I may/hope to get back to it someday.Mary Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986934534719487604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-16518484208079416372017-04-22T10:34:35.813+01:002017-04-22T10:34:35.813+01:00change material to medium, it's way more artis...change material to medium, it's way more artistickyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-40311913138177247432017-04-22T10:30:32.444+01:002017-04-22T10:30:32.444+01:00Well I dont do visual arts but I cook and write in...Well I dont do visual arts but I cook and write in the way Mr Knight paints.

The way it moves and burgeons. The way the paper reacts. There is a sense of accident in all of this.
