Art Class 3/27/14

Spring classes started up again this week.  I have two weeks to attend before my new job starts on 4/7. 

Below is my very first oil painting.  White egg on a white sheet of drawing paper, put a spot light on it.  I got the oil paints a couple of years ago (right after we moved to Pennsylvania) and I finally decided to try them out.  Acrylics dry way too fast outdoors for plein air painting, so I figured I would give the oils a shot.  I really like the oil paint.  There are all kinds of things to mix into oil paint to make it do this or that.  This is just out of the tube.  It was such a joy to blend the paint to get the nice soft edges without the paint drying.
