For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to finish using up some old student grade paints I had laying around and after trying out artist quality paints, I realized I had made this exercise 10 times harder.

I'm quite happy with the texture I achieved at the bottom but I'm aware that my brushwork needs many more years of practice to avoid muddiness, just haven't quite learned how much oil to use with my stiff paints.

That issue about how much and how to use oil has been a nightmare for me since I started to paint. Now I try not to use oil if I can avoid it, and in any case lately I am using Liquin, if needed, and am quite happy with it.

I like your brushwork, btw.
