Mountain at Sunset

joha59 14 May 2026

While doing this painting for the second time, I was wondering why we almost paint with liquid white, if with the clear (in my case: linseed oil) the colors are so much brighter. By (happy) accident I dropped the liner brush with some dark paint just beside the mountain and left a dark spot in the sky. I decided to use this for painting a bare tree, On wallpaper of 40 x 30 cm this time, as said, only oil on the white primed paper

So beautiful with such vivid colors!

You did a beautiful job!

Thank you Sandy and Stephanie for your comment!

Looking great!
Yeah, using liquid clear or oil as a base, instead of liquid white, helps to keep colours more vivid.

Thank you very much Titia!

Good evening Jos, unfortunately I lack the time to paint but I can admire your beautiful works. Great work especially the mountains👍🏼🇩🇪🇳🇱
