Next weekend will be the opening night of my latest exhibition! I'm very excited about it as it is the largest collection of my paintings that I have ever shown. Anyone who finds themselves in the neighborhood of Amsterdam is most welcome to come and see it. I will be there from 18.00 to 19.00; I will also be celebrating my birthday that night!

Wow a DD
At a time when my life was feeling so dark... it is hard to tell you how happy it made me to see a ray of light in the form of a DD.
Thank you for your comments and thank you to everyone who watches and favs my work. I am ever grateful for your support.

So i sold my soul to make some cash to live on, and it turned round and bit me on the a**. it will serve me right to try to make art for picky opinionated customers who leave no room for my own artistic interpretation.

If you want a quick and easy way to keep your pallet clean :d

:bulletblue: Transparent and Opaque Paints
Transparent = so sheer as to permit light to pass through. Stained glass and clear plastic are transparent.

By mixing a medium like linseed oil and turps to any oil paint you can make it transparent, and you can then use it for glazing. However, certain colours of oil paint are designed to be used as glazes. These colours are very dark or almost black when neat (not thinned with a medium), colours like: Alizarin crimson, Olive green, and Phthalo blue. When you unscrew
