I had my painting class on Tuesday this week. I am one of only 3 students that are painting in oil, the rest are painting in acrylic. Our instructor highly recommends acrylic if we really want to learn how to be proficient at painting. That sounded a little odd to me. He said that oil… Continue reading Paintings #3 and #4
