hi Robert,
this is a great tutorial. I really enjoy you telling the viewer your every thought. It is most helpful. I always go back and “play” with my current painting once I see what you have done.
Do you think it is possible to be as spontaneous with oils? I paint with oils and am always afraid I will end up with mud if I go back in alot like you do. Thanks for what you do, yours is always the first art email I open!

Deborah,
Thanks for commenting. I can’t really speak on oils since I don’t have much experience working with them. I would assume it would be possible, and my only advice would be to not over mix them on the palette. I know there are certain rules for starting thin and end w/ thicker paint. So, maybe stick to this and you’ll be OK. My paintings will easily end up muddy if I do too much. Try to put it down and leave it alone. It’s when we become too ‘touchy’ that things get messy.
Al the best! More tutorials on the way soon.
