Acrylics are better, dry quicker so they don't take up so much space on

with the Blake & Wight mistrels LOL, if only I could sell them all :)

was pretty good with pen and wash and with pencil. Used to do some pretty
good stuff with depth and textures too. Thank you for the marvelous
suggestion.

Yes it's nice to do some real art. I know I've spent some years playing
with digital graphics quite obsessively if the truth be known, but
although I have learned a great deal, and it can be good fun, there is
definitely still a point in doing real art, well one can sell it for
starters and it seems a lot easier to sell real paintings than digital
art :)

I wanted to ask you, what's the best way to clean up brushes. Spirits I
assume? Any tricks that make it easier? Some artist once told me not to
waste money on getting a palate, but to just get a heavy pane of beveled
glass, clean it up with a razor blade, much easier, much less expensive.
Tried that one?

Well yes "White Spirit" (not sure what it's called in the US) is pretty
useful as a general purpose paint thinner and brush cleaner. I always
recycle it, let it stand for a few days to let the paint settle and it
goes more or less clear again, albeit with a slight yellow tinge but OK
for cleaning brushes. Course genuine Turpentine is nice for thinning
paint because it smells gorgeous, but anything that smells that good has
to be harmful, oh well never mind :)
One thing I would say about cleaning brushes, it's always a good idea to
use soap and water (not detergent BTW) at the end of a session and make
sure all the paint comes out the ferrule, this makes the brushes last a
lot longer, not a bad idea bearing in mind nice soft high quality
brushes are not cheap :) I used to use Kolinsky Sable brushes, but I now
find modern Nylon brushes better.
Another thing worth knowing about Oil painting is there are some nice
Oil modified synthetic resins about these days such as Windsor & Newton
Liquin and Wingel that make life a lot easier because the paint dries a
lot quicker. Mind drying depends on your style really. I know the
Impressionists tended to like Poppy Oil because it takes ages to dry so
you can keep the paint fresh and workable over a number of days, that
would have been useful to someone like Monet when he did those huge
water lily paintings :)
But of course the disadvantage of slow drying oils and thick paint is
you have to wait months to be able to varnish the thing properly. Oil
paint wasn't really designed for the modern world LOL Which is probably
why Jackson Pollock and many of the NY school bought their paint in the
decorating store.

Yes that's true, I used to use a piece of plate glass myself. But
there's an even better and cheaper materiel, white melamine, They make
cheap flat pack kitchen furniture from it, so it's pretty easy to get
hold of a sheet of melamine you often find old furniture dumped in the
back alley or in rubbish skips (dumpsters) where I live, so it's easy to
rescue a piece. Of course if you are working quite large it's nice to
have a big studio pallet, for example the whole side of a kitchen unit.
As to cleaning I usually scrape dried paint off with a pallet knife. But
of course the nice thing about melamine is if it gets a bit beyond you
go out an rescue another piece :)

That's ok I've been called worse. ;-)
Don't know about yours, but was I referring to the posts that are using the
"Dianic Voice" but are obvious retaliation to posts I made against Laura and
Wight. I do not think it very likely that the Actual and Genuine Diane
would bother to flame me for telling the Laura that it be full of shite. I
mean, she doesn't like me but it's more of a healthy indifference at this
point I am quite sure.
As to yours, I think it pretty unlikely that it's anyone other than Laura.
It seeks to disrupt - nothing less. And it knows the best way to do that at
this point is not to use its own voice - so it tries to adopt the method and
flames of the person that kicked it so many times in the past. Sadly for
it, it is rather transparent in its attempts for were it Diane, we could
expect more humor and wit in the flames, laced with tidbits of new material.
Blake's a total kook. I kicked the newsgroup habit for nearly a year a few
years back, and when I returned, saw a bunch of flames where Laura was
claiming that I was the same person as "Lacey Leigh" and "Dana Wolf" (who
were both flaming him for different reasons at the time). Dana is certainly
her own person, and I don't even know who the other one is. Blake the
NetKook, has done little in the past 10 years but try to gather attention
for himself by disrupting newsgroups. It's probably the only place in his
life where he can feel important (as laughable as that is). Quite the odd
sociopath. No wonder Wight is following him around taking notes, being a
student and all.

That's awesome advise. Thanks! I'll send you some pics of my next finished
piece. I work a bit abstract with paint, but you've seen some of my
sketches I believe... rather like anime influenced by pagan gods ;-)
Bethany (the real one)
pice - i think its diane thats trollign me in this case- i am certain of it.
just the past stuff diane has learned privately and said to me via email has
proven it.
Diane is definatley active in this group. Blake never had a reason and never
knew "Gary Scarfe" to do this.. All i can say - its Diane.

That sounds awesome, I look forward to seeing those :)
It's funny actually I have got more into Abstraction over the years. I
used to be heavily into highly detailed realism and using tiny brushes,
wasn't that keen on Abstract Painting at all, I didn't seem to
understand it. Yet I've become very abstract in recent years. Maybe
inside every realist there's and abstract expressionist struggling to
get out LOL Well to be honest these developments in my work have run
parallel to transition. My work isn't anywhere near as anally retentive
as it used to be, I like using lots of colour, bigger brushes and
working a bit bigger.
Mind the other aspect is Abstract paintings sell, paintings that look so
tight they look like photos tend not to sell easily, they take ages to
do and people often assume they are photographs, so in a way highly
representational painting is not valued or has very marginal market
potential. But of course abstract paintings look like paintings and
still look like paintings when reproduced in digital images, and it
seems visual literacy isn't the public's strong point, you have to spell
it out in bold colours with a big brush ;) LOL I suppose it's been like
that for most of the last century to, but Abstract painting certainly
seems to have caught on in the art market now, thank God. I used to have
to paint frigging kittens LOL Mind I suppose a big Cats head on a 6ft
canvas would look good, nothing like a bit of Post-Post-Modernernist
Irony for good measure :)
