Boats at Rest

I like this, Barry. I'm on the acrylics track, and also gouache for plein air. Lots for me to learn about how these media behave. Good luck with the water-soluble oils!

Loving your current style with water soluble oils Barry. Have been using them lately and find them very responsive and exciting, although I wish I could be as brave as you in their application. The colours and brush marks work in beautiful harmony here.

Love the luscious darks and knife work, Barry! Can't get on with soluble oils, found they never seemed to cure properly! Much prefer oil based oils.

Thank you everyone for lovely supportive comments. Hi Thalia I suffer from chronic asthma and I find the water soluble safer for me to use, I have tried zest it and many others and they all seem to irritate the condition. Although this style doesn’t involve using much thinning down of the paint at all.

Great movement Barry!!

A nice painting Barry, and always good to experiment out of your comfort zone. Think the composition and movement works well . Like this a lot .

Continuing to explore the medium of water mixable oils using a painting knife. This effort is a bit more conventional than my last effort which had a few more abstract elements.
