Watercolours & Exquisite Ink by Cady Driver

Second oil painting since yesterday’s class. Let’s just say I have:

1. Lamented dramatically multiple times to my husband about how I haven’t conquered oils yet (he reminded me that my class was less than 24 hours ago). But still….

2. Struggled with how dang lazy oils are. They just sit there and don’t do anything! Watercolors do the work for you in blending….I disapprovingly told them so.

3. Subconsciously preserved the white of the canvas and painted light to dark (what you normally do in watercolors)

4. Washed more brushes than I care to count. Sheesh. Oils are messy.

5. Multiple times have declared I love oils and then declared I hate them (depending on what ugly phase my painting is going through)

6. Substituted olive oil for vegetable oil….it’s oil, right?

Please check in on the spouses of artists who commence a new medium. They are not ok.

Also not ok, the artist who is learning the new medium.

Oh. My. Stars.
