I happen to be a pallet knife painter and so I need the stiffness of the heavy pigmented Old Holland ( especially on the warm days). If i did more brush work, I would certainly use the French style paints. I love that buttery slide.<br /><br />I also really appreciate the technique analysis here in this post. It shows how an artist can insert themselves into an observational painting and by doing so give it a personality, making it more than a just "picture" of what there is in the observational world.mariandioguardi.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963944767715466681noreply@blogger.com
