Are these oil paints? Do you recommend so drying out does not take place?? What about the smell of oils? Thanks Love this portrait and your dialog

[@dalerhodespaintings]

Sorry I've taken so long to reply to this. Yes these are oils, and yes I do recommend so that drying out doesn't happen. I much prefer to paint wet in wet, and also to have the paint wet on the palette all day. Oils don't smell - it is the mediums people use that smell. You can use oils with very low to zero odor solvents such as Gamsol, and also you can use oils with no mediums at all - or maybe just pure linseed oil - and just wash up with normal dishwashing liquid...

What are the colours on your palette?

[@dalerhodespaintings]

I have a few but the core colours I recommend - you can paint almost anything with them - are titanium white, cadmium yellow light, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue and burnt umber. I also use raw sienna, burnt sienna, ivory black and raw umber. There is a complete section on colour mixing on my site...

Simple layers? So this is painted over days and letting layers dry before adding more paint? Couldn't quite tell while watching this.

[@dalerhodespaintings]

I don't worry about letting the layers dry - If I want to do another layer I just paint either wet into wet or onto dry if it has dried...
