a ' watercolour ' like effect can be achieved with oils as well, just requires that you heavily thin your paints with turpintine.

Just some food for thought for a fellow artist
i can't be doing with oils,they take too long to dry and having all those canvases in the room would do the wifes head in ,she's bad enough with my paper..i've banned her from cleaning up but she's obsested with mops/cleaner/polish..

i did know that(i'm not a total ignoramas)..but thanks for the info iNsOmNiAc'S dReAm..have you ever thought about doing a tutorial?
