These are H2Oil paints by Van Gogh. They are water soluble and dry faster than oil paints. They dry shiny, unlike the oil paints I am using. I prefer to work the entire painting wet, so I will put these paints away for future use, possibly when traveling.

She paints in oils on canvas covered masonite board with a palette knife. This technique […]
