Perhaps I'll try that for another time to see the difference. But with a small brush for detail and a scrubby brush for softness, the oils seem to do the trick.<br /><br />Gary, <br /><br />Newfoundlanders seem to open their hearts and homes to anyone in need.

I think we did well.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-64722183910050560032011-09-12T12:59:24.884-02:302011-09-12T12:59:24.884-02:30Good Morning Jeanette,

I always felt that bumblebees were meant to be done in pastel because of the velvety feel of the medium, but yours look almost palpably fuzzy in oil :) Great composition too.Yelena Shabrovahttp://shabrova.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-59276048353356267232011-09-12T08:56:36.371-02:302011-09-12T08:56:36.371-02:30Thanks Blade!
