I think I might be getting the hang of oil painting! It's so DIFFERENT from watercolours, wow. But also it is so much fun because I GET TO STAB THE PAINTING WITH MY BRUSH stab stab stabbity

[mific]

Stabbilty art, heh!
I used to do oils ages ago. I like the ability to blend evenly, but the fumes and mess were a hassle - I've always lived in the same space as where I'm doing art. And then watercolours are more portable too, so I switched to those.

[dhampyresa]

Yeah the fumes are the big downside of oil. Do you do watercolours on the go?

[mekare]

I’ve never worked with oils but that sounds fun.

Mind you, I'm not claiming stabbing is doing oils right, but it' certainly doing oils fun.
