And maybe finger painting would be good to try (there's probably safe alternatives).<br />PS. Light overcast days are great for art photography, no glare, no flash, but yeesh, takes patience.kaslkaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041865957191874234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774035.post-50833498492839294682011-04-14T15:42:26.905+01:002011-04-14T15:42:26.905+01:00Beautiful and I too didn't know that painting ...Beautiful and I too didn't know that painting with fingers was frowned upon.

I am careful with the cadmiums! And I keep my fingers away from my face!<br /><br />You got great form in your painting. With your magnificent drawing skills and a good atelier - you could be a master painter. One of the best painters I know could draw and struggled with painting. 6 months with a classically trained master and she's one of the finest painters I know.Michelle B.

H...Lots of depth in this Jennifer - looking great.<br /><br />Hey, I tell my students to "get in there!" with whatever tools they feel will work, including fingers! But that's with acrylics and pastels.<br /><br />With older oils, it is the dangerous minerals that is the problem - the cobalts and cadmiums, although modern oils should be safe enough. One Aussie painter I know of developed throat cancer as a result of holding the ends of his paintbrushes in his mouth.Artoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424626782787625419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774035.post-6712108047432625802011-04-13T21:43:58.586+01:002011-04-13T21:43:58.586+01:00it turned out great! i didn't know that it is...it turned out great! i didn't know that it is frowned upon to use your fingers when painting with oils. i wonder why that is?Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30774035.post-25045109192122953902011-04-13T21:41:38.680+01:002011-04-13T21:41:38.680+01:00Ohhhhh!
