Liquin to the Rescue

I worked on this painting a little more this week and I just wasn’t getting the look I was going for. My dark’s were getting flat and textured when I wanted them smooth and shinny. So after staring at the darn thing for a while I grabbed the liquin and started slapping it on. That was the trick...... and off I went glazing , blending and smiling....oh yea one more thing , the liquin made the candle smoke an easy task.
