With the gouache paintings, I'm scaling back down to 8" x 10" and 11" x 14" due to paint consumption and ease-of-framing considerations. And storage space.</div>

I think I'll stick with gouache paints for now and shelf the water miscible oils. I find gouache easier to work with than the oils, but more persnickety compared to acrylics. Over all I'm finding that they do what I want them to.<br />

I gave water miscible oils a try.<br />
<br />
It may be the fault of my very limited palette or my limited technique, but I wasn't impressed with the performance of the paints in terms of pigmentation and mixability. I tried Holbein Duo Aqua Water-Soluble Oils. Feel free to weigh in on this truly exciting topic :)<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if I'll continue to soldier on with these paints or try another medium... or go back to acrylics. I've also been curious about casein paints, but of course that means doling out more $$$ to indulge, so we'll see.<br />
<br />
I was inspired to try a different paint medium after reading a<a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/deteriorating-plastic-threatens-to-ruin-museum-treasures/" target="_blank">n article in Scientific American</a> about how plastic-based art and artifacts in museums are beginning to show deterioration 40-50 years out, including an acrylic Andy Warhol painting. Not that I am generating museum-quality art :) but I like to think that I can look at my intact paintings forty years from now rather than wade through a pile of plastic dust.<br />
<br />
I also started ruminating over the environmental impact of adding acrylic paint debris into the ecosystem every time I paint.<br />
<br />
This riveting drama is to be continued... till the next exciting installment...<br />

I will try and make it available in Kindle format on Amazon.com if I can figure out the process, so on the off chance that anyone would like to own it in Kindle format, it can be purchased. I'll let you know if I manage to "publish" it.</div>
