I am still thinking about paint shortages even though I have fresh new tubes of white and sap green so I paint using lots of linseed oil to extend the paint. It has a lovely transparent look and the lines slip and glide across the canvas.
I am recalling the Betty Crocker cookbook from my childhood. The drawings used to really disturbed me because the line drawings were off set from the fill colours. I used this style today, stroking on colour then drawing the image on top. This look accentuates the hiddenness of the violets in the grass. One-a-day painting encourages me to experiment.
