Oil On Paper
Here's another medium I'd never done before. It only took me about ten minutes to realize the first problem with oil paints that I hadn't foreseen: you can't wash it out of your brushes with just water. Luckily I'd left my good brushes in Victoria (I'm taking the ferry back tomorrow.) However after some trial-and-error, and painting my hands green, I figured out that normal soap works just fine. It took me a while to notice the second problem: the take weeks to dry. Which means when I close my (new) sketchbook and put it in my bag tomorrow, the painting will end up at least partially on the back of another sheet. That's not such a big deal, but I kind of like this painting. By the way, that's not all brushwork, I used my hands and one of those dental tools that looks like a little gaff too.
