Post #501


I am celebrating blogpost#501 with this oil painting, my first attempt to oil paint at home. Surprisingly, there are no color marks on floor and furniture. But strong smell of thinner despite numerous ventilation attempts.
I liked the smell and the process sooo much!

  4. Thank you, Judy! I like oil very much, I did several paintings in my drawing class. I joke: "I am oil myself, that's why I like watercolor so much, so difficult and unpredictable for me".
    Padmaja, thank you!
    Judy, thank you so much!

  5. Beautiful work Irina. I bought several years ago all the necessary to paint with oil colors, but since then I never tried to start.....you know, the first love is watercolors.....but sooner or later I will try. Ciao!

  6. Congratulations, Irina! I like the still life--especially the Chinese lanterns. I have some too and love their shape.

  7. 500 posts, congratulations, I love to work with oils too, but it's very time consuming. And I do not like the smell of thinner.
