I picked up a few true oil colors after doing a lot of reading on how best to use the solvents needed for cleaning. I found that Turpenoid Natural is a pretty safe and very low odor brush cleaning medium, and did a pretty good job of both cleaning my brushes and not making the kids run in fear of the smells coming from the dining room table.
For this painting I used just french ultramarine, burnt sienna and white, which is slightly different from my last two color work here, where I used phthalo blue instead of the ultramarine. As you can see, the 'greens' here are a bit darker as ultramarine leans towards the redder side of the blues.
