That's what I used to start out with - enough colors to go on for quite awhile, and I actually prefer their paints to other brands I have used. A good deal at 40-50% off,too!K Spoeringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692584187798649701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-13883418762572315522008-12-06T08:06:00.000-07:002008-12-06T08:06:00.000-07:00Sue, that's so funny!

I actually use the water-soluble oils, which work and look just like regular oils, but you don't need the toxic mediums and brushes can be cleaned up with soap and water. If you're thinking about going back to oils, you might like these. Most major brands make them now.K Spoeringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692584187798649701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-14401594516975344982008-12-05T11:31:00.000-07:002008-12-05T11:31:00.000-07:00The birds and other oil sketches you have done are...The birds and other oil sketches you have done are lovely...I hate that I gave away my oil paints in favor of acrylic...maybe time to head to the art supply store and try this.<BR/><BR/>I thoroughly enjoy your blog and love being able to lurk about here.<BR/><BR/>SueovetsfyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-72411835837830439972008-12-04T19:00:00.000-07:002008-12-04T19:00:00.000-07:00Tommye, I have a couple of vintage bird books, and...Tommye, I have a couple of vintage bird books, and I just 'wing it' for the rest (pardon the pun).K Spoeringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692584187798649701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-26821533231242042232008-12-04T17:42:00.000-07:002008-12-04T17:42:00.000-07:00Kathy,You GO girl!

My only question is if you're referencing a bird photo or sketch you've made as you do the painting or if you do the bird from memory?<BR/>TommyeTommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.com
