We become painters at some deep level not out of a love of images. I think, at some point, we fall in love with our chosen medium. We seem to spend our lives trying to master it.
Trying to express the blinding radiance of the morning sun with just yellow & green, oil turpentine on paper.
My current favorite is to use pastel over my oil sketch. Pastel is fast & gives me that bit of texture from the paper to convey the meadow.
By brushing the pastel over with turpentine, I dont have to use any fixative.
