I’ve recently switched to Michael Harding oil paints to see what all the fuss is about, and my paintings completely changed in a moment. I know the science, but I couldn’t say for sure WHY these paints handle so differently. What I do know is that I haven’t mixed any combination of colours yet that haven’t been absolutely beautiful to my eye, and working wet in wet is a dream and a doddle. All in all my work just ends up being better than I might have hoped it would be and incredibly, a pleasure for me to look at the colours, shapes and textures rather than at what I might have done differently.
