Getting back into Oil Painting

I took oil painting classes back in college and it is my favorite traditional medium to work with. Other artists hate having to wait for the oil to dry, but I never minded.

For a long time, I never went back to oils due having a small apartment with a cat and husband, making the chances of someone bumping into wet paint a high probability. Also, oil paints aren’t cheap.

But losing 2 people very close to me last year and months of grief, I decided life is too short to not try doing something that makes me happy. So I saved and bought some oil paints from my local art store when they had their annual big sale.

So far I’m liking these paints. Not the best, but not too bad for store brand oil paints. I would love to be able to mix my own oil paints, but that is a goal for future oil painting Dawn.
