My first attempt at water soluble oil.  I was too afraid to lay on thick paint (because it would take weeks to dry and to fix if I made a mistake...) so I worked with thin, translucent layers of paint.  I wouldn't say it was the best method of approach but it was a good experience. 

The underpainting of the second piece was done in acrylic. (most of the dark purples) While painting with oil, I left some of the underpainting to show through.
