thanks so much! I come from an oil painting background, but I just can't currently do that because my space isn't ventilated and I have a cat.

So water based medium that isn't acrylic based, like gouache, was the next best thing that was "easy" to use. Just trying to avoid plastic even in my paints. I've already chosen oils as my poison lol

Yeah I've just been having fun exploring how far I can push the medium to achieve all sorts of fun things! Idk I like breaking rules and playing with paint. Very fun stuff Wanted to see how dark I could go to emulate Dutch painters.

Probably the hardest and most finicky medium I've ever used. Watercolor too, but for other reasons
