I know, I really do, about the need to build up to the detail but sometimes I'm tempted to just do a little more in an area, and then if it starts going well, I keep at it. That really throws the balance off. I own one of your paintings -- it's well loved and is hanging right over my head as I type. If you wondered where this one wandered off to -- it's in Virginia. (On Flickr-- http://www.flickr.com/photos/23937375@N00/4927789845/ ) I check up on your website all the time to see new paintings. There are a couple of older ones, from a Kansas series, that I'd like to purchase. Anyway, thanks for posting that tip. I have the unfortunate tendency to get sidetracked by a detail.

If someone had told me that 3 years ago when I started painting I think I would have been far better off. Took a long time for that light bulb to go off! Keep up the good work...

]]> Comment on Traditional Gesso by Larry DeGraff http://www.betweenthepalettescrapings.com/?p=291&cpage=1#comment-26 Larry DeGraff Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:41:22 +0000 http://www.betweenthepalettescrapings.com/?p=291#comment-26 Hi Phil, Thanks so much for this teaching blog. I've had the challenge of summer greens and washed out, high noon painting for years. Really good advice. Anyway about this one, I noticed the same thing about Liquitex Acrylic Gesso. My paint acted like jello, slipping around on top of the surface. I tried out the Liquitex student grade gesso and it was exactly the opposite. It gave my panels a sandpaper like finish that sucked the paint out of the brush. As a no cost experiment, I've mixed the two together about 50/50 and so far am liking the results. It makes me wonder how/if they test these products. Thanks again. Larry Hi Phil,
