Bouguerea painting attempt


I’m still working on this Adophe William Bouguerea painting. I’ve been building up the color by first oiling up the section of the painting I’m working on with a mixture of Walnut oil, Dammar varnish and Turpenoid. I’ve also been adding this mixture to the paints as needed to control the transparency. The more mixture added the more transparent the colors become. If you click on the link it will take you to a great PDF file written by Mark Warker titled Bouguerea at work. There is so much useful information on Bouguerea's process here that I would not have gotten this far into my painting without it.
