Thank you David, I'm quite pleased with the effects I have obtained for once.

Super, sad about the impact of mediums on your body.

Thanks very much Heather, I have used oils for about 25 years so perhaps it's an accumulation of effects, but better safe than sorry I think.

Love the mood you’ve captured with your painting Bryan, very evocative. Sorry hear of your intolerance, would you consider the water miscible oils. There are one or two artists on here that use them with excellent results….Marjorie Firth for one.

Lovely Bryan! I love the clouds!

Thanks Fiona, I may give them a try but I think I will continue with the acrylics for a while and take a break from oils until the better weather and I can paint outside again. I noticed a few headaches last year and after a 6 week break experimenting with acrylics, I started to suffer the effects from the oils as soon as I set them out again on my palette.

Thank you Spencer I think big skies are my favourite thing to paint.

That’s such a shame Bryan, I hope you overcome the problem one way or the other. Just to say, I thought this was oils! Lol

Thanks Fiona, yes I think acrylics are so good today, I ask myself wether I really need wet oil paintings hanging around before I can add another layer Lol.

Has a lovely look of tranquility Bryan and just a little of anticipation too.

Posted by Chris Scott on Mon 19 Dec 19:15:49

Thank you Chris, anticipation is always good I think.

A master study of a painting by David Sharpe. Back to trying acrylics again as I seem to have developed an allergy to linseed oil. I have noticed a runny nose and headaches when I use the oils even though I only use walnut oil as a medium and no turps indoors. Oils will have to be an outside medium I think from now on.
