That's good, glad to hear it!

[wilsonbickford]

Thank you!

im using watercolor. will it still work>?

[wilsonbickford]

@ruthjrodriguez Yes, but because WC is transparent, you may have to add a bit of Chinese White, or White Gouache to the yellow-green highlights to make them show. ( that will make it opaque )

Well the brush strokes show when the paint's thinned and the colors don't mix as well as water colors do. I use linseed oil as a thinner. Is that fine? But il def try the techniques shown in ur videos and see how it turns out.

[wilsonbickford]

@stuti2912 Oils won't "mingle" and flow together as Watercolors do. They're totally different. And linseed oil will thin the paint somewhat, but not nearly as much as paint thinner. ( plus, linseed oil takes FOREVER to dry ) When I want to use a medium, I use Liquin, made by Winsor/Newton.
