Creating with all different mediums

Hi Bloggers and artist,
I like to have many different subjects and to use different mediums. I do really enjoy using oils as I said in the previous post, as I like the way the paint flows and that it takes a while to dry.
For some paintings that I have done I like to use acrylic as I wanted to use the Mineral texture gel to make the tree.
I sometimes like to experiment with ink painting and charcoal. so I have not yet found a ground level but I think that is what is so great about art as it is flexible.
I hope to hear a comment from some other artist and see if they too use a range of different mediums.

Welcome to my first Blog post

Hi fellow Bloggers/Artist,

WOW! I have been looking through all the art work I have done and I can say that I have been very slack. The painting at the top of the blog was painted two years ago. I used a palette knife and oil paints. I have fallen in love with the palette knife and I have been using it a lot.

I am a big fan of oils but I sometimes I do resort to using acrylic.

I will be up loading pictures of some of my work.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to get inspiration.

Till next time...
