I'm an experienced painter. Not a great painter, but experienced. I've always stuck mostly to acrylic, with a tiny bit of watercolor, but I finally decided to try my hand at oil painting. Yikes! 

Turns out it's pretty much super difficult. I made a mistake though. Instead of starting out with brushes, I jumped right into painting with pallet knives. It's not altogether awful, but i definitely have plenty left to learn. It was very difficult to keep my colors from muddying up together---- purple and yellow definitely don't play nicely together. 

Lesson learned, and I shall try again another day!
