Nice work, Chris. It looks, from your images, like you were using the oils in a watercolour kind of way with lots of washes that have the effect of running over the board like watercolour on paper (rather than soaking into the canvas, which has a different result).

Chris,
is the priming done with Acrylic Gesso? Is it thick ?
I also like the water color effect, fine for sketches and light work.
