My favorite kind of experiment

I work predominantly in acrylic paints because of the quick drying and ease of clean-up. Still, it doesn't seem to satisfy my appetite for painting.

Enter water-soluble oil paints.

I've been wanting to try out water-soluble oils for way too long but just haven't gotten around to it. It's kind of like being a Canon user (which I am) and considering the jump to Nikon - it's almost too expensive to do or justify doing once you're invested in one way so much. Well, I finally stopped making excuses for why not to just go for it all and I got myself some Van Gogh H2Oils and I cannot tell you how much I love them!!!

This painting is just an abstract of a flower field that was really just meant to quickly cover up an old and outdated piece I did for master bedroom and try out the water-soluble oils. It started out as a relief sculpture/painting using good old fashioned tape and I just couldn't get it all to work out so I just ripped the sculpturing off and want at it as just a painted piece. I'm completely happy with it and can't wait to dig into another (more serious piece) now that I have a better hang of the water-soluble oils. Not sure what I'll do next just yet but I'm excited about getting some more colors and paints already.
