For a blogger that is supposed to be at least partially blogging about art, I sure haven't put up many photos in a long time. I've been painting pretty consistently on the car, though, and I'm close to being finished with it. I painted for another hour-and-a-half last night. I need to let the whole painting sit for a few days so that it's dry to the touch, then I can put what might be the lat layer of glazing on it.
This has been an educational process; I have done relatively little work in oil glazes before, and I've never before done a single painting that depended so heavily on glazing. Thank goodness for the Internet; I've relied on articles and discussions to help me work out the bugs in the process. Once again, Wetcanvas.com was a reliable, entertaining resource.
One problem that I have had is with some of my thin layers of glazed paint beading up on the preceding layer. I learned that rubbing the lower dried layer with a cut onion or garlic will prevent this from occurring. I haven't tried it yet, but I will.
