In honour of my eldest son, who sent me a really cute birthday card, I used my new tube of oil to paint his portrait. The trouble comes with the fact that it doesn't dry right away. It's not finished but I can't go any further because the paint starts to lift off when I go back at it. Did I ever mention that I'm also a tad bit impatient.

Oh well, I'll attach what I've completed so far and finish it later on. It looks like him a little.I hope you have a good couple of days until I talk to you again.
Bonnie, they make a quick dry medium to use with the water soluble, but I find the smell too strong. It also posts warnings with use. I love portraits - you make them look great!
