Here it is! My first painting in oil! Really bad, huh? I think so too. Here's why: no white paint. I grabbed one of every tube of paint I own - all 7 colors, including one large tube of Titanium White, and headed out to try my hand. Little did I realize that paint will get hard just sitting in the tube if enough time goes by. The tube of white was about 15 years old and it was like a rock. I didn't realize until I had everything all set up. Well, despite my best intentions this was not going to work, so I packed it all back up and headed home. I'll probably try it again. I hate to waste a board!
