Jasminek: Thanks so much for your first visit and warm comments. To your color question,I gather you are referring to the first painting in the thread? It is constructed completely with the gloop pen. It particularly allows for a presentation of rich, bright and vibrant colors blending beautifully and cleanly together. Selecting colors near their "true" color hue on the color pickers with some slight moves left or right to alter luminance and saturation so they are not garish further helps bring a certain brilliance to color in AR. I guess the best approach is just practice with the beautiful range of colors available and, to your point of using only the oil brush, experiment with all the other tools and their various settings. Quickdry settings on some tools, as well as the "faster drying" tools like the ink pen and gloop pen can work wonders to control unwanted blends at butting edges. Experimenting with the various settings will yield results that are instructive. You can then make presets for those settings that will then yield predictable results for future efforts. Hope this helps a little. Again, thanks for your visit and upbeat comments.
Lee: You're great and give me a giggle.
