do you fix the graphite to the canvas before painting?

[redlung]

@Disgustipado Yes I do. I use Workable Fixatif

[pokkitmonzturr]

you have excellent taste in music

[Dressommer]

I really love your style and technique. And you really shows some skills in this one. Though i don't feels this as much as your other pictures. And Michael, it could be nice to see you draw and paint in real time, and maybe you talking while you do it.

[WithoutYourLight]

LOL. I love your intros. xD So awesome and amusing to watch...

[voxxromana]

[Fidgetxxnator]

What do you use to make your acrylic so very light? Or do you just have a very light-body paint? Are you thinning it with a lot of water? I'm guessing your towel is damp that you're wiping with? Just kind of staining the picture...? That's what I'm gathering. I'm only asking all of this because I, myself am an artist (oils mostly) and I'm AMAZED. :)
