Ok, I have made the decision to get good quality paints. I am using really cheap grade tube paints right now. And I do mean cheap. I do not like the way things have been going with these paints. So, I figure it is either me, or the paints. If I get new paints and I still have the same issues then I will know it is me. But if it solves my issues it will be well worth the money spent.
Here is a cropping from the painting I did today. I actually like this cropping a quite a bit, so the painting was not a loss.
After I get the new paints I am going to try this painting again. When I do, I will show you the full painting both with the old paints and with the new. When you see it you will understand why I didn't like the full thing.

I do not and never will charge for my online art lessons. I feel that every service on the internet should be offered free of charge. However, managing any site does take time and money. If you feel encouraged to help, we will happily accept any donation you would like to give.

I like your art... I find it interesting.
Michael, when I bought artists grade coloured pencils and 'proper' paper, I entered a whole new world. Go for it!
beautiful crop- I love the glow coming up between the mountain-shapes. and so far as the expensive paints go... I'm more acrylics, but I use the cheap paints for the more basic colors, and then buy the expensive stuff for the colors I really like but that just don't exist or don't act right for the cheap brands. works for me ;) looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
