I'm interested to see where it's taking me.bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933344957466744104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058088542188227419.post-71176271158377160652009-07-15T08:15:10.564-04:002009-07-15T08:15:10.564-04:00Wonderful abstract quality, yet easily recognizabl...Wonderful abstract quality, yet easily recognizable.W.

I started my moon series and it was the only way to get the depth and transparency - now I'm using it on everything. I use Resin-gel for palette work.<br /><br />I bought a UB filter for my camera today, can't wait to use it.

I always have them with my brushes...just don't pick them up often. I need to think about that.<br /><br />I've used the Copal medium, but not lately. You have to be careful (especially when you've opened the bottle a lot) that the medium will dry around the lid. And sometimes a grain of dried medium will sneak into your paint and leave a crust/grain in the brush stroke. That's ok if you're going for that look. I like Liquin as a medium (when I use one). It speeds drying and makes a good glazing medium. Keep in mind that it will make the paint look shiny when dry.bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933344957466744104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058088542188227419.post-27815022332029093372009-07-14T16:08:58.470-04:002009-07-14T16:08:58.470-04:00Hi BJ, Interesting, almost abstract...ever tried p...Hi BJ, Interesting, almost abstract...ever tried palette knife?<br /><br />I'm just full of questions :=) Have you ever used "Copal medium" a dryer and used for transparent build up?chuck lariveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635991335890084097noreply@blogger.com
