Hello there. My name is Max Sibelius Trip (Dutch), from Australia. Yes, I am a new to this Forum.
In 1997 I joined an Art Society and had a few lessons in different mediums, had no idea which to prefer.
Cut a long story, I got stuck with Pastels for their ease of, simultaneous drawing and painting and luminosity of colours. To tell you the truth, oils were a lot of bother, turps, cleaning brushes and colour mixing, say the least. Acrylics, too quick drying and w/colours, well never dared to try, although, my wife, Isobel does w/colours and lovely work. Pastels on the other hand,'like a duck to water'.
For a while, however, I have been thinking of getting ' out my square' and try another medium, although Pastel is my preferred one. Since I got onto the Water Soluble OiL, well, why not !
So here I am and yes with a little help of RR. Till next time.
