Default A few decoys
I've been playing around with oil paints this summer to see if I could add a few new styles and techniques to my arsenal. I am pretty happy with the way I was able to wet blend acrylic paint, but that's nothing compared to the oils. When it comes to paint, I haven't found anything more satisfying than wet blending oils.

I can't quite say I favor one over the other yet, and that really wasn't my intention anyway. They both have strengths and advantages and I'll continue using both types of paint. I was just looking to add some variety.

Awesome! Really like these decoys, just don't like what they are used for I'm afraid. Don't judge me too harshly for that please. Joe.
