I’ve spent a lot of time this week drawing–preparing large paintings that have complicated designs.  This morning I pulled out some smaller pieces to do some actual painting. The upper painting, titled Girl in a White<\/em> Blouse<\/em>, is my second attempt of this subject.  The first effort was smaller and I ruined it by using Old Holland medium. Old Holland medium contains–I’m guessing–damar and mineral spirits. It’s thin, which I like, but it dries very quickly and becomes tacky almost immediately, which I don’t like–not one little bit. And it dries with a glossy-glassy finish that I find uncongenial.<\/p>\n
