So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints πŸ’— This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before. I'd also frowned upon them a wee bit, but these were surprising nice to use πŸ™‚ http://www.stephcoley.com http://www.facebook.com/StephanieSianColeyFineArtist Comments, likes, shares & subscribers are always welcomed πŸ’— ______ Music: Someday Musician: Alexander Delarge URL: https://icons8.com/music
