What fuels me....

7/20/2017

 
So I decided to paint the Edmonds fountain with the Starbucks building in the background in oil... This is my second attempt at oil painting and I'm three days into it.


I now know why Van Gogh cut his ear offf! Oil painting is a painful experience., The paint likes to smear and unlike acrylic paint, doesn't dry right away. Why oh why did I decide to do a structure with straight lines? I should have done trees or a organic landscape.


If someone would be so kind to offer me lessons or advice on oil painting I'd be forever grateful. I'm about to lose it, and throw a brush across the yard!
