Thanks Mike.
I have now done three in this series, and Tansy is the most successful. Not sure where i am taking this idea of 'country' yet, or where it is going.
Maybe some crazy contraptions/windmills next.

Muster

Re: “DOBERMAN” - oil study.
Thanks for the info. I haven't tried Alkyds - but have been dabbling with water soluble oils. They are a true oil you can clean up with water. Drying is frustrating so just purchased some drying medium to trial with them. Of course, just as I have been getting interested in them, they discontinued t...

Re: “DOBERMAN” - oil study.
I am enjoying this oil study, Pogs. Your technique of using grey mid-tone base is very traditional and works well. Did you use acrylics for this? I like using a sepia acrylic base - haven't tried a gray as yet. Are you using a drying medium in your oils? Just asking because you are making rapid prog...

Re: Christmas wishes

Re: Merry Christmas
the buffalo soldier unfriended me. that is just plain weird, Jay. You have got to wonder - did he think you were asking for payment or something? Weird. Perhaps the drawing looks a little too much like him? lol. That is the only thing I can think of. :mrgreen: But know that WE appreciate your work!...

Christmas wishes
Dear Mike and friends, wishing you all a very happy holiday season - whatever you do, be safe and have fun. There has been a crash in the Christmas beetle population here over the past few years of drought and climate change, but good news is that this year there has been a return and once more we a...
