		<description><![CDATA[When I was ten my family moved from Fiji to Los Angeles. I remember hating L.A. because of how cold I thought it was. To this day I still can&#8217;t stand feeling even the slightest bit cold. That said, I also love painting the snow since I grew up without ever seeing it. Right now [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;ve seen them before only the fourth (on the use of the mirror) is new. If the music is annoying you can turn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I get asked this a lot, and have strong feelings about it, so I thought I&#8217;d quickly put down a couple thoughts. For portraiture you absolutely have to use lead. Titanium kills all the other colors, and lacks the beautiful transparency that almost mimics human flesh that lead has. Every great portrait was painted with [...]]]></description>

The recipe is the usual: 1 part Canada balsam cut with 1 part turpentine, and then that mixture is added to 2 parts Zecchi sun-thickened linseed oil.art.

I thought I would post a plug for my framer here in Italy, Piero Franceschi, in honor of his new website. I&#8217;ve used Piero for all my framing needs for about [...]]]></description>

Once again I ordered most of my materials here in the States as flying with paints is a hassle these days. In May I grabbed a whole set of Williamsburg&#8217;s oil colors on [...]]]></description>

When I worked at Charles Cecil studios, a few of us were present at the opening of new studios and had to set up the lighting. It was a lot of work, but I came away with a good understanding of how to control [...]]]></description>

There are also a lot of excellent suppliers to choose from. I am really enjoying the Williamsburg paints which I found on sale. They are the best pre-made tube paints I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I put out a batch of linseed and walnut oil to thicken in the sun on lead trays. For many years I made my own, but after Zecchi finally got their sun-thickened linseed oil to the right consistency I started using theirs. Store bought sun-thickened oils are usually &#8216;August&#8217; oils however, meaning they put [...]]]></description>
