Trying to learn oil painting, using water mixable. Surgery date 16 October to remove breast cancer. [View all]

Really bad at this right now but letting myself have time and space to learn.

And trying to learn oil painting takes my mind off the cancer.

Thank you for looking and for any advice about oil painting. ❤️👩🏼?🎨
