Nope! I only use artists oils, Winsor Newton  to be eaxct. With my regular B&W's
I apply them heavily with a brush diluting the oil enough so you can still see
the image but still thick enough so that there are brush strokes making the
image resamble a painting. I layer the oils, blending various colors.
Unfortunatly, you really cant see that in my scans, i am etither a very bad
scanner or I have a bad scanner, have not figured out yet which of us is at
fault. I use the artist oils instead of the marshals photo oils because I feel
they work better and are MUCH more cost effective, you can get almost 10 times
the amount of artists oil for what you pay for those tiny marshalls oils.

Again not a simple question ;D My husband had shot alot of B&W in HS. After we
were married awhile he was shooting alot of color and I decided to get into B&W,
seeing my results he then made the cross over too to B&W so I guess you could
say he was first. He does mainly nudes, always B&W now. I am the one never
satisfied with a straight B&W always feel like i HAVE to do something...
anything else to it before I am happy.

Will do! I am very anxious to find some spare time to sit down and get working
on them!
