paint for matt

Hi Matt,

I’ve been doing exercises from a beginner oil painting book, off and on. Color mixing still a big challenge for me, even after the author gives the base colors and what to mix. Just being able to recognize what you’ve mixed and how to move it in the proper direction still seems like magic.

I’m using these canvas sheets off a pad. It’s hard to fill all the nooks and crannies, is that a canvas thing, or is my paint too thick, brush thing, or…? I notice coverage issues on paper also, but no where near the level on these canvas sheets. 

Any comments on the piece appreciated. 

Larry
