Oils
I really love working with oil as a medium. The fact that the paint stays wet for so long makes it really easy to manipulate the colors and blend them. I am still quite new to painting with oils. I realize that there is still much for me to explore when painting and the prospect of learning new techniques and trying out different ideas fills me with delight. From my samples you can tell that I mostly enjoy painting people, so I would love to explore other subjects and methods as I progress.
Water Colors
I always used to paint with water colors when I was little. One of the tricky things about water colors is that it doesn't really blend well. You have to be very meticulous when drawing your outlines and pay close attention when using your brush. The one thing I really enjoy about using water colors, is that I tend to be a bit more free with the work I produce. My oil paintings tend to be more precise and rigid and I'm often afraid of making mistakes. When I'm using water colors, I let go bit, and though this is scary, it is also exhilarating.
