Have popped a few more photos of some more art, a couple of older ones and couple that have just been done recently. Some of these I have on
http://artbyjude.etsy.com Some other ones on ebay. Was going to put them on last night, and got carried away with playing with oil paints. Love it, the brilliant colours it gives, but hate when I haven’t cleaned the brush properly and it goes muddy. Have to get some more rags and some turps.
If you wish to purchase any art please let me know. I take payments by paypal.
Nice suprise today I sold the painting of the Barossa, whoohoo.
Your remark about rags and turps prompted me to ask whether you have tried water-mixable oils – such as the Winsor and Newton “Artisan” range. There is no turps needed, so no smell and everything cleans with cold water, and cleans even better by using a little ordinary soap. I also use Artisan brushes (among others) which have white bristles. Some of my brushes are several years old but still have white bristles thanks to cleaning with soap and water. Some have been lightly tinted with the recognised “staining” colours – but not bad for their age.
You can mix Artisan with ordinary oils but must then use turps for cleaning.
Hi there justwilliams, thanks so much for your comment. I have one tube of the water mixable oils. All the others are ordinary oils. I’m waiting to paint a masterpiece (haha) then can afford to buy all the colours I want in water mixables. Have only just started to sell my work, maybe after I do a few more and hopefully get some sales will be able to add to the oils I have. Thanks for the tips, very handy.
I don’t know a lot about art, so my opinion’s probably not worth much, but I do like the clarity of the colours in these pictures. I especially like the ‘Tin Shed’ one, but then I do tend to gravitate towards oranges, reds and those sorts of shades.
Hi Jennie, thank you so much for your comment, I’m a bit like you I love those colours also. We get a lot of them in the outback here.
