WORK IN PROGRESS-DOS ARBOLES DE TAOS


"DOS ARBOLES DE TAOS" - 48"X36"(UNDERPAINTING)

(Step 1.) Portrait-Quality Fine Belgian Linen on Heavy-Duty Stretcher Bars.
(Step 2.) 3 to 5 Coats Gesso thinned with water until brushmarks don't hold up on
canvas, tinted with Paynes Gray to a pastel hue.
(Step 3.) Light colored underpainting in oils mixed with M-G White or Foundation White.
(Step 4.) Canvas should "cure" two to three weeks.
(Step 5.) Lay in darks -- glazes. This layer should be dry to the touch before continuing.
(Please Note: Later this week my full palette will be available on this web log)
STAY TUNED -- ENJOY!
