Hi all

September 8, 2008 - 7:19 am No Comments

My son has been nadgering me to put up a blog with stuff I find interesting, videos pictures and my daily thoughts, although to be fair I am not sure a censured log of my thoughts is that interesting!

So hopefully overtime I will add more stuff to the site and we can get a bit of stuff on here.

I would like to learn oil painting but am concerned about allergies?

Found this question on yahoo answers and thought people might be interested

 

I react to linseed oil, varnish and latex. Turpentine is out of the question. What can be used as alternatives? With acrylic, I just use water and found a low impact, low chemical fixative and have been using a watered-down gesso for the preparation of the canvas.
