My first attempt at painting with water based oils. I used Winsor Newton water soluble oils. I hate them.
Ok, I need to give this a chance. It is great to clean brushes in water and there is no odor. But the texture, the colors, the "paint-iness" of the paints- I don't know, it's all lacking somehow. On the bright side, they don't have the plastic quality of acrylics.
I went to Utrecht's to whine and left with some Holbein paints. The heavily pierced young man assured me that I will like them more than the Winsor Newton paints ( the worst, he agreed.) He tells me "green" art materials are becoming more popular and are bound to get better.
Green art materials. Maybe I should switch to photography.
