"Columbine"

 

A couple weeks ago I bought a basic set of oils that can be cleaned with soap and water. This is my first attempt at an oil painting and I'm not really pleased with the outcome. I approached it just like I do with acrylics, which didn't work out very well. I did the background and then painted the flowers and branches. Now I see how to successful paint in oils, you need to block in the painting and work on the whole thing at once. Pretty frustrating experience. I think I'll stick with acrylics for now. I'll give oils another shot down the road.
