Torch Ginger - preliminary to oil/acrylic painting

I heeded my daughter's advice that I should just paint no matter what may be distracting me from doing so. 'Just go and do your chinese brush painting mum!' and I did. Though I like the free flowing actions that the chinese brush allows me, I am still very much in love with the use of oils or acrylic and addicted to the details rather than letting myself go along with impressions and fine lines that I could have employed using Chinese brush painting techniques. So as time progressed, my painting got darker and darker but it gave me the incentive to move onto oil. This weekend perhaps!
