Sodden Teabags

Hi Debbie, the affect I get with oil is glazing, you just thin the paint with linseed or saflower oil or which ever is your favourite oil and paint in thin layers, letting it dry in between layers. As you build it up it becomes quite translucent and glowing, not opaque as oil paint normally is. Jo Louca

Wonderful......

Well - it never fails to amaze me what subject people choose to paint! This is very well observed and I admire your desire to do something quite different - it makes a really interesting work. The painting also tells a story, which is always good, namely who's teabags were they??
