It sounds to me that you may have added too much oil in the beginning. I was careful in the post to mention using a whisper then application of oil in the beginning. I put a little linseed on a rag and wipe it over the surface. If you take your fingers and run over the painting after you apply the oil, there is just a little bit of residue left on your fingers. I am willing to bet 100 kittens that you used to much oil in the beginning. I will do a post on this matter soon. I think it will be helpful. Where do you live? I teach classes if you are interested. Shoot me a private email.Todd Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106002893113309433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18288359.post-39102046532208308822014-01-27T05:52:19.397-08:002014-01-27T05:52:19.397-08:00Hi Todd.

I have tried oiling my canvas before to keep the paint from sinking in so badly, but the oil then interfered with the application of paint and took FOREVER to dry. You even oil right over the drawing! How do you apply the oil? Thanks so much for sharing this process.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746248091425588674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18288359.post-82234382394260116342014-01-21T18:08:22.021-08:002014-01-21T18:08:22.021-08:00Thanks for posting your process - it's quite h...Thanks for posting your process - it's quite helpful to see the structure beneath.David The Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198938190820294516noreply@blogger.com
