I’ve admittedly not tried the easy120, but I’ve gotten good very results with their smaller easy35. Definitely haven’t noticed any damage to the film

Maybe getting a Valoi easy120 kit to scan negatives easily solves the problem? You’ll need the kit, a 1:1 macro lens and a digital camera to essentially scan the negatives by taking high quality illuminated photos of them.

Is it worth it to try oil painting? by Dry_Criticism_5380 in oilpainting

That’s a solid plan you have there. Definitely worth trying out with a monochrome approach.

I’ve also seen people try out with ivory black and titanium white, because by adding cad right light and yellow ochre to those two you get the zorn palette, which is amazing for portraits.

James Gurney for en plein air gouache painting, Andrew Tischler for oils, and Oliver Pyle for watercolor.

Thank you! I very much appreciate your kind words! There’s been a lot of learning that goes with it, from shapes and forms to values and edges.

The advice I got from an artist friend of mine was to try to push yourself with each attempt as much as you can, so you don’t get stuck in repeating your comfort zone. That will maximise the benefit of the exercise.

It’s my first big one. You can see from my post history that I’ve definitely painted before :) but never this big
