Lukas Berlins

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to paint another picture.  This time I used my new Lukas Berlins water miscible oils.  I was in for a surprise!  I used the primary colors and I have to admit the colors were brilliant and vibrant.  I squeezed the colors out of the tubes and they were very creamy like butter not just from one tube, but from all the tubes.  I also used Titanium White and it was just as buttery.  I used the paint straight out of the tubes and they mixed beautifully on my palette.  It's going to take me awhile to get used to working with creamy oils, especially after working with the somewhat stiff W&N Artisan oils.  


My hubby brought home a box of apples.  I picked 3 apples and arranged them on a plate.  I had about two hours to paint and I felt rushed and I feel my painting is so-so.  I need to finish the background and will call it done.  I need to remember, I'm still in learning mode and my paintings are practice paintings and a work in progress.  


I'll be back to post a picture later this week.
