hey, Anj, that is too funny! I'm sure she would have been happy with any of them, but the third one was indeed my favorite - she looks wonderful!Terri!im always surprised how well your opinions go with what i hear from my customers! The lady was also torn between those two, and at the end she decided to take the third one, ha ha, so you were right again! -))
The "photo oils" are specially made to be very transparent, so your photographic image will show right through. Sometimes this is not desirable, if you have a large area with a dark tonal value where you want actual color. They also make "Extra strength" photo oils, which really just have more opacity to them, just for this purpose. You can also add colorless medium for more opacity, but you just lose your photographic detail.
That's why Anja's prints are so amazing - for using straight painter's oils, she does a MASTERFUL job at knowing which details can be more obscured and which a gentler touch is needed. Between that, and the beautiful texture of these prints from the wood, she makes fabulous art!
