| Time After Time, Oil, 18 x 18 inches ©2021 Barbara Benedetti Newton |
I am frugal with some things, oil paint is one of them. Looking back, some of my paintings show that frugality. Not a good look.
I have given myself an attitude adjustment based on two things:
1. My age. I have many tubes of oil paint. If I continue to be frugal about how much I use, they will outlive me. I want to use them up.
2. The addition of cold wax medium instead of my usual liquid medium adds body and volume to my paint and gives my work a more generous look.
Above is the recent rework of a 2014 painting. The original work is shown below.
