Rembrandt oil paints

 

« Australian Coastline »
18x24cm, oil on canvas, varnished

This is based on a photo by Karlien Goss-Ross in the Facebook group «Free reference photos for artists». I enjoy painting this type of rugged coastline. It was also a chance to try out my new set of Rembrandt oil paints - they came in a series of dark colors (the "Rembrandt" edition). I had forgotten how smooth these extra fine paints were. I also went back to odorless mineral spirits and a runnier medium than linseed. Yet I've since realised that odorless doesn't mean less toxic, so this is not the solution for studio work.
