Mostly watercolor, a little acrylic, never oils. I really want to try doing some oil painting though.

Time is a huge problem.. I find myself working later later and later.

I took an oil painting class when I was 12 and then quit. A couple months ago I decided to try again. I'm only about a quarter way through (the mouth is the only finished part) my first painting but I'm digging it so far. Oils are so easy to blend with. This is probably going to be another obsession of mine...

looking good man. like everyone else, always wanted to try, just not enough time.

Thanks. I pretty much decided to take it up so that I can practice mixing and blending colors. Seems safer than practicing on skin.
