Oils are so different it seems from watercolors. Once one goes to dark they seem to lose their freshness even if they are not staining. Someday I must give oils a chance. Your work is always just stunning sweet friend. Have a great week.

Since I don't work in oils it wouldn't be something I would do, but since I have played around with gouache a little lately it might be something I could apply to that. I know a lot of gouache painters do an underpainting too.Joan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-28391409598746063202018-01-28T06:47:11.569-07:002018-01-28T06:47:11.569-07:00Thank you for this lesson.

What a great instructor you are! You gave me a great lesson on the value of transparency when it comes to achieving depth and variations -- not to mention its importance in avoiding chalkiness and "dead zones" in a painting. This is something your posts frequently do, Julie. You remind me to be more conscious of my technique.
