I've been painting for about 7 years and did conceptual stuff before that. I was using acrylic up until a year ago and have been using the water asked oils since. They're fab! I really prefer them.
I paint stairs and peeling wallpaper, urban decay, stuff like that. I can't get along with the traditional subjects either. I think you have to paint what interests you or it won't work. I did a portrait of my son in the hospital and that turned out pretty well so I'd like to do some more un usual portraiture like that I think.
I'm such a klutz, I even find drawing hard as I tend to overwork it so badly. I'm in awe of your dabby skills. I just don't have the finesse for that stuff
Also naked Sam, hells yes! I think you should. Y'know. For research : ) x
