Oil painting has a substance to it that I like very much, which is very fitted to dogs and other animals, especially for their eyes, jaws and noses. One can convey a realism of such anatomical parts not equaled by watercolour or pastel. When one paints in oil, one gets a sense of it's presence and solidity, and as a painter, that is very exciting and lends itself well to representing almost any material, surface or form. I saw this in Old Masters in galleries at 11 years old and began painting with oils eagerly from that age onwards.
