Lisa Glora, your work is gorgeous. As a semi-novice painter myself, I'm interested in learning how you achieve such thin, almost water-color consistency with oils & a little OMG. My paints seem super thick much of the time and, knowing the risks of using too much OMG, when I use a little it doesn't really get as thin as you're able to get. Thanks for any thoughts!

[LisaGloriaArt]

@MakePieceDC Well, it might be the brand of paint. Sometimes paint out of the tube is too rigid to work with, and I would avoid those tubes for underlayers. You might try painting a passage that seems too thick, then wiping it back with a paper towel. i work on linen adhered to panel to minimize the flexion of the linen, and so I'm not worried about thinned paint in underlayers at all.

@LisaGloriaArt Ah, good idea re varying brands. And re panels. What brand(s) do you like?

[LisaGloriaArt]

@MakePieceDC I like both New Traditions and SIgnature panels on Gatorfoam.  I use the smooth Claessens double oil primed.
