So I've made a commitment to learn the Flemish technique of painting used by the old masters many years ago. Last night I started priming two small canvases for this technique. Tonight I will add another coat of gesso/modeling clay mix to continue the canvas prep. The idea behind this step is to create a very smooth egg shell archival surface for the paint to adhere to. It will also increase the longevity of the painting.

I've been really busy, but just wanted to say that I've not forgotten my art! I've purchased a new camera, I was not at all happy with my camera work. I do all of my artwork from my own reference photos, so this had to change.
I also purchased all the supplies I need to go back into oil painting after 25+ years. I'm so excited about that! I have discovered an old technique that creates beautiful uber-realistic paintings that I am going to try, so stay tuned!
Thank you for stopping by!
