Useful Oil materials

A behind  the scenes , beginning of an oil painting. Location is Derwentwater, the season is Spring, a glimpse of a sparkling lake through the trees, wild flowers and beautiful sunlight catching the trees and lightning up the leaves.

A Limited palette of colours a few Blues, pinks, shades of Lemon through to Ochre, white and Black.

A few trusting palette knifes, a couple of long handled brushes and what I call my Squidgy 😁 it's actually a cookie dough cutter , here's a link, it took me a while to find one. I use it for many things, taking of colour to reveal underpinning, softening to create mist and scraping colous into skies. It's a great addition into my oil painting techniques.
