Catching up on the A-Z challenge now that I have one essay done and another half done. Vision is still messed up but I have an appointment to get that looked at next week. Its optic neuritis, just a really bad case of it since the vision from my right eye is pretty fuzzy and it is like I am only seeing out of half of it.
Anyway, 'O' is for oil paints which I haven't used in years since they set of my asthma but I might try to paint outside and see what happens.
'P' is for pastels. I have A LOT of pastels. There is a giant tub full of them so wont need to buy any for a long time if ever lol
I'm cheating a bit with this one. 'Q' is for QWERTY. I do use my keyboard with digital art so it could be counted as an art supply if you stretch your imagination a bit.
good job on Q, a tough one. Hope the eyes improve soon!
ReplyDeletethanks Christine :) lol it was sort of cheating
DeleteSuch brilliant colours! I smiled when you said you can’t use oils, maybe try them outside lol, I just said the same thing this week, I miss working in oils but my asthma has worsened and no longer can tolerate any petroleum products or strong smells, acyrilics I can no longer use either, or markers, so I told my husband I wanted to try painting outside again, I did try a few summers ago but it still bothered me, I hope it doesn’t bother you, I also positioned a fan to keep the air blowing away from me but it still didn’t work, I wish for you success, asthma is no fun but this challenge of yours sounds like lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, hubby say to try a ABEK1 respirator, might help block the vapours. Hubby is really allergic to perfumes/air freshners/dust mites/grass/birch pollen and sadly the dog so she's our first and last :/
DeleteWell done on Q. I get allergy related asthma on occasion too. I hope your vision is doing better soon.
ReplyDeletethanks Lisa :) too bad about the asthma, one option is anti histamines / steroid nasal sprays (hubby is on both due to his allergies. Whats really helped him is a spray called DyMista which also has an anti histamine.
DeleteI'm going to try an ABEK1 filter mask to see if that helps me
You sure have all the lovely colors!

Good work on Q. I am allergic to linseed oil in the oil paints. I got some M. Graham paints, they are made with walnut oil so I can use them. I just get tired of waiting for paint to dry! Hope you get the vision straightened out. Bummer.
ReplyDeletethanks Jo :) hmm interesting about the walnut oil, will have to look into that :)
