Using Oil vs Watercolors!
In this video, I paint the same scene side by side in Oils and Watercolor and compare the painting methods in these mediums. Here are the differences in the way I use these painting mediums.

- No Layering of colors. Painted in Alla Prima or Premier Coup method.
- Use opaque White color
- Painting develops area by area.
