Thank you Claude and Richard for the information. My follow-up question would be this; what if i coat it with varnish to potect the oil painting from crackling or peeling off from the emulsioned ground or protect from fading away, would it be more problematic in the end if i do it this way?
The reason why i like this is because it makes my work faster and it soothes my impressionistic technique. actually, the method is this:
first, the initial sketch, charcoal pencil or acrylic on gessoed canvas.
second, acrylic wash either the complementary color or the nearest color.
third, coating it with acrylic emulsion twice.
fourth, painting with alkyd and oil.
lastly, retouch varnish.
I have several paintings here that were done this way.Some of the paintings were already in the hands of buyers. Will it not last, what do you think? Or what else do i need to do to protect my paintings?
Thank you,
xander
