Oil and Water...Still Life



The same subject...different mediums...oil paint, watercolor...not so different ....very different feeling when trying to paint the subject...using the water always feels looser , the oil gives you the illusion of more control...and it is easier to use the oils.... the paint stays where you put it...the watercolor moves and changes color ...drying much lighter than when you put it down wet...so one has to paint it over and over sometimes to get what you want...both are @ 20x20"

Hmm.. I like them both,but in this case I think the oil may be stronger of the two, although it's hard to tell from Georgia.

However, what you accomplished is very interesting.

The oil almost looks like a watercolor!

Very wonderful.
