At this stage I’ve decided to add a mixture of Walnut oil, Dammar varnish and Turpenoid to the paints. I could have used liquin but I like this method better because I feel I have more control over the paint for movement, transparency and fine details. With this mixture the painting will remain open and workable for a few days, this allows me time to fuss with the details. I have several paintings going on right now and this also allows me the freedom to move back and forth between them. If I get stuck on one I’ll just put it away and start on another.
