Oil Painting: The Fat over Lean Rule
Scared of Oils
A recent article in a main UK art magazine made me remember why I took so long to discover the joys and beauty of using oil paint. Although oil paint is one of the oldest and widely used art materials, many people will hesitate to use it, like me at the time, because of all the stories they hear about toxicity, strict rules, and the complex array of materials needed. For a long time I feared all these technical issues would spoil the joy of painting for me, and so stayed away from oils.
Learning from Other Artists
However over the past ten years I have learned a lot from professional and amateur artists who were a goldmine of help and information. They provided experience and – sometimes opposing – opinions on the use of oil paints, mediums, techniques and oil painting brands and when I decided to jump into oils I could experience a lot of it myself and come to my own conclusions.

Abstract
Aim
To present findings about experiences of relational caring at an arts-based academy for persons living with dementia.
Background
There is a compelling call and need for connection and relationships in communities living with dementia. This study shares what is possible when a creative arts-based academy for persons living with dementia grounded in relational inquiry and caring focuses on relationships through the medium of the arts.
Design

Methods
Twenty-five participants were recruited
