The trick is to use very little, enough to mix with, or glaze with
Stanka, I think this could be my problem. I was using a lot of the Liquin. When you begin the day do you mix colors with enough Liquin to get the desired consistency or do you keep your paint seperate and have a glob of liquin on the side to dip into? When I use linseed oil and turp I would mix it into the colors. I found that if I did that with liquin the next day I had lost the paint on my palete... all dried up. So I would take my mixed paint and glom in the liquin, to much no doubt, each time before going to the canvas.

Jeanine, thanks for the kind words. I think I would have done a better job on the details of the face if I could have used a larger canvas. Bigger is often better.
