My avocado painting Print

It's my first avocado oil painting. I love oil painting, brand Winsor and Newton. This slow drying time makes oil paints exceptionally easy to blend, since there's no need to worry about the paint drying out before you can blend it. It also makes it possible for artists to work on and modify their painting over long periods of time. After working out the design, time was spent mixing colour. Personally I like to use a large glass palette as well as a hand palette when I’m working; the more space the better. I use a knife which I think gives me cleaner results in the mixing. The oil paint slides around beautifully on the glass, it can be picked up on the knife and added to other mixtures. When you are beginning and aren’t properly used to the paint you are using, it is better to limit the tubes and really get to see and to understand colour mixtures.
