What kind of medium are you using? You seem to get a lot of mileage with your paint!

[davishev]

@PogueSquadron I think I was using poppy seed oil for this portrait.

nice work, dude, but after this den=monstration do go back again to it when is dried? im trying to say, do u always finish your paintings in a day? i wanna see how u progress on a dry painting...thanks very much for sharing this, i have learnt one thing today

[davishev]

@PAPASINO This was just a one shot, wet into wet painting. I like to work on these small paintings while they're wet. My larger paintings are done in layers and dry in between sessions.

Have you thought of painting on a gray toned canvas instead of a green toned canvas?

[davishev]

@UncleRabbit1 I use a variety of different tones. I think that day I just happened to grab a panel which was toned green.

Wow!

@SrLaberynto This was done on panel. When I work on canvas, I prefer linen. If I'm working on something where I want it to dry more quickly, I use Galkyd instead of oil. BTW, I have a new DVD about all of this stuff coming very soon.

Awesome portrait. I was wondering, do you prefer linen over cotton duck? and also, what medium other than poppyseed oil do you use?
