In this last quarter we studied oil painting, which was really cool since I had never really been taught how the process worked. When "oil painting" came to mind, I used to think of paint used for its ability to be thick and chunky. Now I realize that its so much more than that, and have learned how brunaille and grisaille add to the depth of paintings. To be honest I didn't love oil painting, but I think with more time to get used to how the turpentine made the paints so liquid-y, my underpaintings would have been more successful and less drippy, making me more excited about the whole precess. I don't know if I'll be continuing with oil painting any time soon in the future, but i definitely have a newfound appreciation for it.

I'm sorry we didn't get farther along in the process - I wonder if you would like it more if we did?? You seem to have learned a lot anyway and you did a great job with the first steps.... maybe you'll try it again in the future - or at least remember the concepts, even when working in acrylic!
