Holbein Aqua Duo

oil on canvas, 8 by 10 inches

Years ago I bought some water solubable oil paint, and I’m finally trying it out. The parts where I made a wash with water didn’t grab the way I was hoping. I’m sure I’ll figure it out the more I use it. This is the first layer. I’ve applied a second coat and used white as well, and established greater values. The next step is applying a layer of Burnt Umber. (photos forthcoming)
