Virgin No More

This is what I've been working on today - an experience that I've never had before:

Oil Painting on Paper!  I am no longer a virgin on paper...dun, dun, cha! (drum taps and cymbal in appreciation for my lame joke).


I really have been having fun with it.  I gave a good couple of layers of gesso, let it dry overnight and began this afternoon.  It's a work in progress that I'm planning to get done tomorrow.  At first it was a little weird trying to get the paint to spread around the way I'm used to, but I'm getting more used to the texture.

I just switched back to Turpenoid Natural again (was using regular Turpenoid) - that may have to do with it as well.  It has a lot more body to it than Turpenoid, so I'm acclimating to that again as well.  Turpenoid is just too toxic for my workspace, and for me!  I got a bit dizzy last week while I was working - BIG wake up call to change products.

I dedicate this song to Painting on Paper.  Enjoy a little INXS, and recall the 80s with me.

And of course I don't own the rights to this, didn't create it, didn't film it, and blah, blah, blah.
