Yah, the space is cramped. But I also have room for a drawing table and some smaller tables for supplies, a printer and scanner - stuff like that.
My concern about oils is that my Lady may find the smell of oils and thinners hard to take when it comes time to sleep. I guess I can only try, eh? That layering would create lovely effects. But I would have to spend more time painting with my current medium first. I don't want to make lots of horrible mistakes on a piece that I spend months on. That would be a total drag.
I can tell that at my current pace Progress is not my middle name
