As to the topic...Carol, a really awesome painting. As to the topic of ventilation...I work in a very small space with oils. I keep two small fans going and I although I struggled at first with them, I always wear gloves. I really like Walnut Oil, but always have some odorless turp. nearby and in a small jar with the lid sitting on it loosely. Even though it is odorless, it is my understanding that it still gives off fumes. I also pour out a small amount of Liquin, but I am using less and less of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276659944304853311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-1060128360267517962009-08-03T08:46:30.756-07:002009-08-03T08:46:30.756-07:00I've been using plain old cheap vegetable oil ...I've been using plain old cheap vegetable oil to clean my brushes, followed by soap and water as needed, and then resorting to turpentine only when the brushes seem to be getting stiff.<br /><br />I've just invested some $ in regular oil paints, but when I start to get low I may look into the water-soluble oils. Does anyone have an opinion about how they paint compared to regular oils?Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161793223531050486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-10516859430158105952009-08-03T07:11:01.046-07:002009-08-03T07:11:01.046-07:00I clean my hands so often when I teach that my stu...I clean my hands so often when I teach that my students think I have OCD. I use a Mechanics' hand cleaner. Goop or any equivalent. It comes in large pump containers for the studio and small tubes for painting outdoors. And like peanut butter, it comes in smooth and crunchy (with or without pumice).<br /><br />The painting is a really wonderful observation.ski holmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140309272243462111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-69004822260557097632009-08-03T06:45:45.170-07:002009-08-03T06:45:45.170-07:00Ha!

Am I right?<br /><br />To get the deeper shadows on the tomato you've progressively used more blue mixed in with the red - is that right??<br /><br />Your picture is shrunk down small on my desktop now and looks very distant. The two tomatoes certainly look translucent which contrast nicely with the leftmost one in shadow.<br /><br />I hate tomatoes but these are great.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363110547537633844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-25612009437915133322009-08-03T04:42:13.793-07:002009-08-03T04:42:13.793-07:00I like the way you keep your own style..

I can be inspired to try again after seeing your vibrant colours here.<br /><br />At the art school I attend, turpentine is banned. Also, fixative.<br />So we have to use Odourless Solvent (instead of turps) and Liquin as a universal medium. And hairspray is a good alternative to fixative for drawings.Shirley Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078240918205173044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-49229651794310135112009-08-03T00:37:43.271-07:002009-08-03T00:37:43.271-07:00Hi Carol,

It has been for me like a rebirth, now being able to do all things that were denied me using acrylics. At Uni. I used trad. oil paints but due to my asthma it was a struggle. Now, working in a studio 3foot x 3foot I can once again use oils ...and clean up in less than 2 minutes, under the tap. I LOVE IT!!<br />www.hiscott.blogspot.comGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827406619984534134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-20043692766412120252009-08-02T21:05:56.862-07:002009-08-02T21:05:56.862-07:00Carol, I love the color juxtaposition in this piec...Carol, I love the color juxtaposition in this piece!
