Karin,
I'll second what Joan said!
I find your discussion of techniques fascinating. I went to college in the 70's and majored in art. I learned ZIP about techniques because none was taught. The philosophy was that technique instruction would stifle our creativity. For the most part I produced such ugly garbage that I still cringe when I think of it, lol.
For the past year I've been studying art by reading books, viewing the work of many artists, and reading this forum. I'm grateful that you are taking the time to explain your Old Masters style of painting. Whether or not I incorporate this information into my paintings, it will help me to better appreciate much of the art I see.
