A New Love?

I decided to try something new... So I took my weekly Michaels 40% off coupon and bought a set of water mixable oil paints!  I've painted wildlife with pastels... and used acrylics for backgrounds... But I've never used any kind of wet medium to actually "paint" things... animals, flowers, landscapes, still lifes...  Well... here is my first attempt...

I don't think my Goldfinch turned out too badly... and I really like painting with these paints!  I think I will enjoy learning to use them! Be honest... What do you think?

    What do I think? I think it is fantastic and considering you have never used the wet paints before, good for you :)
