I prefer the medium I paint into to be thicker than the paint I am applying. So if I am applying really thick strokes of paint I need the couch to be very thick as well. If I am adding very thin glazes and scumbles I can use a thinner medium (in most cases pure G-gel). My background is in woodcut illustration so I had to really think about how to transition into painting with thick paint. I'm attempting to articulate that transition as clearly as possible. People who paint more intuitively probably have a more difficult time communicating what is going on in their heads as they paint. Again, many thanks for the feedback. It keeps me going (and on track)<br /><br />Also, Stephen, be sure that your medium doesn't melt (like pure linseed oil will do). I usually use an alkyd medium like G-gel, linseed oil with chalk (known as a putty), or a medium like Natural Pigments' venetian medium (which is quite good but a little expensive).Brad Tearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311014022243382658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-54099977724646102932010-04-07T22:43:19.767-06:002010-04-07T22:43:19.767-06:00This was a great video!

I have found that people from a fine art background sound very mystical and vague when they are trying to teach which is not the case with your instruction.

Quick question: Is it better to use a heavy viscosity medium(like a gel) when painting in this manner or is it arbitrary?Stephen Southerlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852129048296673562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-42310076370446697912010-04-07T13:00:22.931-06:002010-04-07T13:00:22.931-06:00Boy, I go away for a couple days and you get busy!...Boy, I go away for a couple days and you get busy!<br />Brad, I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into this webpage.
