June 21st, Heart 5

Today I used oil paint for the very first time. I'm not completely happy with the background, I wasn't really able to get the purple quite the way I wanted it. But that's ok, next time I'll be better :) So here is my first attempt of oil paint on canvas:

  1. I think it's awesome! I'm not sure how you would feel about it but, you can also paint using your fingers when it's oil. I would recommend it with watercolor however as it tears the paper easily. =)

  2. Blending is one of the fun things about oil paint once you get the hang of it. Just don't try a waterscape for a while haha! Waves are super frustrating and will make you want to quit. I have yet to brave trying it again but I will someday haha!
