Oil painting

I started oil painting two days ago! It is really fun, I still like watercolor better, but maybe only because I know how to use it more.

I would love to display some of my art on my blog, but I don't know how!

Anyway, right now I'm working on a painting of my siblings and me in a canoe on the lake where our family own a lake house. Its going to be kind of impressionistic. The main focus is the water behind the canoe and the many shades of green and the ripples that create shapes. I hope it turns out!

The hard part is going to be us kids. I'm not trying to paint us so you can tell who it is, but I want people to be able to tell that they are children....drawing people is okay, but painting people, especially in oil is hard.....

well, lets see how it turns out!
