Scott, I am so excited, this system has tremendous potential. I started this 16x20 on an old panel that was covered with ochre. Ordinarily I paint on pale olive green. I used just burnt umber with lots of walnut oil/ lead for the under paint /drawing yesterday, then when dry went over it roughly with white. It has the effect of immediate solidification. I had redone the face this morning and tried to go over it with white too soon, so it wasn't yet dry. As you can see I am running ahead because I didn't want to wait to see what would happen. This is definitely a good way to start paintings.
Thanks so much for the excellent idea.
