I flip it back to rightside-up, and I use a ballpoint pen to go over the lines of my drawing to transfer it to the canvas surface. I use no graphite--only charcoal!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464141780714880280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878528435866018975.post-17824875603976818652020-03-22T15:40:20.746-07:002020-03-22T15:40:20.746-07:00Magnificent!!

I add enough of this to my paint to make it quite "juicy", and nearly liquid.

Or is it just thin paint without medium?<br />I love the way you are so helpful on the wetcanvas website. Your flower paintings are amazing.

I spread it so thin as to be nearly invisible, except for a slight "sheen" when glancing a light across the surface, differentiating it from the untreated areas. Then, using full-bodied paint, I apply that paint right into this applied couch of medium.<br /><br />My medium recipe is as follows:<br /><br />1 portion Linseed Oil<br />1 portion Walnut Oil<br />1 portion Venice Turpentine<br />2 portions Oil of Spike Lavender<br /><br />Hope this answers your questions.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464141780714880280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878528435866018975.post-79643120731874951242017-08-23T03:02:08.943-07:002017-08-23T03:02:08.943-07:00Hey Bill, just discovered you on a thread on WetCa...Hey Bill, just discovered you on a thread on WetCanvas back in 2002 regarding the lack of archival methods in many artist's work. Long time ago! You seem to have quite a lot of knowledge on oil painting in general.<br /><br />Your work is really good. Esp. the last 3 posts on this blog. Really well done and very aesthetically pleasing.<br /><br />Im curious, if you don't mind me asking, how you you thinned your colour glazes and with what medium for the rose painting above?<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />RyanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778377208476939466noreply@blogger.com
