#water soluble oils

SUNK COSTS, 8x10in oil on canvas board

this was my first time working with oil paints and so much fun, though lots of learning involved. Like any piece it was so hard to capture in photo, in part because it won’t be dry enough to varnish for at least another 6 months 😳

reference credit to the fantastic cinematography on Better Call Saul! This piece is largely the result of not being able to get this scene out my head since I saw it.

Full blog post about oils and this painting (with lots of WIP shots!) on my ko-fi (access via link tree in bio!)

The other day, I decided to practice flowers and oil pastels. I picked a tulip for this study because, when I started drawing plants, tulips were some of the first flowers I managed to depict properly.

 A couple of days later, I decided to try my hand at water soluble oils and I thought it could be fun to use the same reference for that study. I forgot to prime my paper, though, so the paint got sucked into it as soon as I laid it down.

I am a sucker for symbols and looked into the meaning of tulips. If you are interested, here’s what I learned. Apparently, the tulip is the flower of Spring or the herb of the Moon. Tulips can represent the perfect lover, a declaration of love, imagination and dreaminess, prosperity and rarity, or passion. From what I read, the meaning attached to the flower also depends on its colour (red for passion, white for purity, etc.).

I am still looking for good resources regarding plant symbolism. The ones I found did not really give details as to why certain meanings were attached to a particular plant, which I found kind of frustrating. If you know a good book or website on this topic, please let me know!

My painting of my gorgeous sassy grumpy tuxedo cat Chloe is slowly progressing. I'm adding in shades of colour in her fur at the moment.

“Will you cross the red trees?”

To stay where it’s solid and green or to go in to the red and violet where nothing is quite real. The temptation is strong…
