love it, this is excellent and I love the way you break it all down.

I really love your paintings.  Real eye candy.

Your paint flows nicely over the canvas, what medium do you use?

[FresiaStudios]

I use no medium.

How long does it take you to finish a painting like this? Also, are there certain chemical additives or oils that you recommend for working with your paints? Also, I'd be *eternally* grateful if you could also post a video that shows how to paint skin correctly. Oh, and a list of colors used would be a fantastic addition, too. Five stars!

don't think in terms of "finish"....you just go so far, keeping everything alive and at some point, when you have said enough, you stop, but it is always complete, at every stage; don't think "flesh," or "water" or "sky" or whatever.......it is always just line, tone and color, there are no "things" and my palette is ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, cerulean, emerald green, perm. green, viridian, lemon cadmium yellow, cadmium yellow light, cadmium yellow deep, cad orange, cad red light, alizarin

Did you buy a 16th century house in Lake Como working as an artist? If so, I'm speechless, I've been there with my family it's very expensive and beautiful... Im about to graduate as a Fine Arts mayor, I hope someday I can have a house in lake Como...
