Just curious, sleepwalker -- do you paint in oil or acrylics? On canvas? Any special techniques you use to get those crisp lines and that saturated color?

I always use acrylics,i've never been any good at oil painting.I sometimes paint on canvas and sometimes on paper.I think the lines are sharp as i use really tiny paintbrushes. I get the colours to look quite bright as i don't add too much water to the paint. Do you paint holly or are you considering taking it up?

My son's girlfriend is quite a serious artist -- doing an art course in Oxford this year -- and she is also a great believer in tiny brushes. I dabbled in oils a bit when I was at school, but it was always too complicated. A few years ago I started decorating craft objects using acrylics, painting folk art motifs -- it was a revelation to discover how much easier acrylics are to work with!

Loving the art, Sleepwalker! I especially love the Hat the owl is sporting...! Makes me think it is somehow related to good old Dave's hat.
I know a bit about art .... I am after all an art lover...!
