The problem with over-thinning oils is that there's not enough binder left to securely hold the pigments to the panel. In extreme cases, the dried paint could be brushed off almost like pastels. To avoid that problem, I could not thin my paint so much, or add more linseed oil to thin instead of pure turpentine. But using too much oil in the first layers can lead to other problems. So... using acrylic is much simpler.<BR/><BR/>I saw one artist's work (I can't remember his name) who did an under painting with watercolor - not just toning the canvas, but a loosely blocked in painting with lots of color. He would then paint over that with transparent oil colors so that the watercolor wash effects contributed to the finished work. But I believe he was careful to cover all of the under painting with some oil to seal it. Otherwise, part of his finished oil painting could be water soluble, and cause someone a lot of grief when they tried to clean the painting!Joe Kazimierczykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936183292787898260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24304352.post-71406071900500565482007-05-26T09:58:00.000-04:002007-05-26T09:58:00.000-04:00Thanks for stopping by my blog Joe.

I've got my panels primed with gesso, next stop some warm acrylic, and I'll be on my way to start my first oil. Gotta ask though, Why acrylic? I love the way the underpainting shows in areas of your work... kind of makes the work sparkle... I'd never call it cheating.. only helping. It will probable be awhile for my first painting (oil) I'm pretty busy this week with some other projects... but soon. I'm so looking forword to it.Nancy Van Blaricomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030893675129815727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24304352.post-84009841026398800272007-05-22T22:45:00.000-04:002007-05-22T22:45:00.000-04:00thanks for the nice comments-- your work as a humb...thanks for the nice comments-- your work as a humble country honesty and nice sense of light.william wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471366449711429780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24304352.post-82693212690911133922007-05-20T15:04:00.000-04:002007-05-20T15:04:00.000-04:00Joseph:You have an absolutely magnificent website ...Joseph:<BR/>You have an absolutely magnificent website with much info and wisdom artistique to impart.<BR/>Good show, sir!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24304352.post-80281570636099887602007-05-19T09:05:00.000-04:002007-05-19T09:05:00.000-04:00Hi Joe, Glad you did this and you are very interes...Hi Joe, Glad you did this and you are very interesting!
