Avocado and pepper from the Farmers Market...more food I love and so delicious together!

I have gone back to painting with oils, I gave the water soluble ones a try because of not having to use solvents but I have found I can use ordinary oils without solvent. I use an odourless medium and clean brushes with sunflower oil. Super easy!!

 These old worn paint brushes had been given the 'brush off' a long time ago. They have been well used over the years and sitting around  the studio, but before I get rid of them I thought they deserved to be painted! I used water soluble oils for this and I am gradually getting used to them. They seem to be more transparent then regular oils and very intense colors so it's just a matter of being a bit more focused when I mix my colors. I think I will stay with them!!

A short post today! I am busy with a few flower paintings at different stages.

A drawing of my new brushes I bought when I was on holiday in Australia! The black one is a Neef, it's a little more expensive and is my favorite. The other two are Isabey...nice to paint with as well!

This weeks  Daily Paintworks challenge is to  use two complimentary colours....a favourite combination of mine is blue/orange...especially for mixing greys. I used orange made from cad red and cad yellow light, ultramarine blue and white. These brushes have been well used!
