great video...what type of paint?

[LuckieVideos]

It's acrylic on paper. Woodie simply keeps his tupperware of paints covered, so that he can open it and start painting at any time.

Glad you liked the video! He's a wonderful guy and a fantastic artist.

We here in Andalusia, AL, are so saddened to hear the news of Woodie Long's death. He was a really special person, and my kids and I loved going to his and Dot's home to visit and purchase paintings. He will be sorely missed! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dot, his family and friends. Carol
