I'm in a watercolor class this semester (part of my required FA courses) and I'm worried about it. Watercolor takes such planning. Oils are so easy to correct!

Instead of layering washes, you went ahead with bold brushwork, and utilized oil at its best. Bravo!<br /><br />I also found mixing oil colors not as easy as mixing watercolors. The colors always seem to come out dull, or too garish. But I think it is just my unfamiliarity with oil as a medium. With more practice, I hope I will gradually find my way. I think you are doing great...Arena Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585731948191412898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-48910373942665386782012-08-06T21:25:26.918-07:002012-08-06T21:25:26.918-07:00Lovely brushstrokes, my friend.
