Lottie, I think your email has been hacked. Someone sent me a message saying you needed 2070 euros, and you’d lost your wallet in Madrid. Just thought I’d give you a heads-up. 😦
Thanks Amberr. This is causing major problems…. damn shit bugger ….*********** , $$ @ ????
I’ve spent 3 hours trying to sort it. BTW if you do have 2070 euros to spare it would be great!! 😉
Thank you kindly Sir. Yes, it is 100 % acrylic – not my favourite to work with but in this heat works a treat as it dries so quickly and you can slap on layers fast.
That does make it nice. i forced with having to wait on long drying times as I paint outdoors most of the time and it is about a shade below the coldest hell where I live.
No, that’s not fun if you’re freezing but great in the summer. I think you use oils which are so much nicer… I’m going to buy some oils as soon as I find a proper space to paint.
I do not use oils as I am generally terrified of them. I alike the mess I can make with acrylic and then say it is my artistic sensibilities as opposed to sheer sloppiness.
Of course it’s your artisitic sensibilities! Oils are my favourite. The smell, the slipperyness, the feel, …actually this is beginning to sound rude, I best shut up.
If I did not live on the other side of the globe 90% I would continue this silly banter endlessly and have several laughs while doing it. But while I am on this side of the woods I have no one else to bug at these hours so I shall enjoy it for at least another day.
I too like the messiness of the oils but being a control freak with an amazingly large ego they make me feel small and less in charge…talk about artistic sensibilities.
damn, i’ve been out for the evening otherwise I could have sent a slippery retort back immediately……
feel small and less in charge? that sounds terrible….I thought you said you had a large ego?

You should’nt be, I think your work is great and I’m sure others do too. this painting of mine, is the first time i’ve picked up a paint brush in about 5 years. As I hit the ‘publish’ button i wondered if it was an act of folly or masochism.
I know just what you mean about oils, but the fumes give me a sort of high and make me paint in a much looser, less uptight way.

for the record i meant the oils did that to me….as the only part of being an artist I have down pat is the insecurities of my work.
