Oil Painting

Lately, I have been getting the itch to paint in oil. I realize this is a watercolor blog but there are times when working in other mediums can improve your painting skills. 

What is most appealing to me is painting with a palette knife. Paint thinners are not necessary making clean-up very simple. You can even paint a whole picture with just one palette knife which provides room for a lot of creativity.

Last week during the heavy rains I thinned out some books and came upon this small book by Hazel Soan, titled Learn Oils Quickly. I immediately read it and in the process became inspired to paint in oil again.
