My sense was that you couldn't put acrylic over oil but can do the opposite. <br />This gives me more insight into the thought that goes into every one of your paintings.<br /><br />PS- I, too, am interested in your take on Pats' question.<br />Thanks Mike<br />BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-15513891876666129322010-04-20T23:34:01.636-04:002010-04-20T23:34:01.636-04:00Mike,

What do you do abou...Mike,<br />I have another question.<br />What do you do about varnishing a new painting before showing it or selling it. How do you keep from having dead spots when it's drying. I see so many daily paintings being sold immediately and wonder how they are finished without using varnish. I was taught that you should even wait 30 days before using retouch varnish and that liquin dries as part of your painting so it can't be cleaned years later unless it's varnished. I'd like your input.<br />Thanks, <br />PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-47455594387346676222010-04-20T23:33:33.109-04:002010-04-20T23:33:33.109-04:00bonnie- my mistake. i had the darks down in oil be...bonnie- my mistake. i had the darks down in oil before i noticed that the two shapes were too warm. but i didnt have any oil on the light shapes yet and went over the yellow acrylic with rose madder. made sure i stayed out of the oil in the purple shadow area.mike rooney studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318109342734118088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-27874634597404223362010-04-20T23:28:58.835-04:002010-04-20T23:28:58.835-04:00bonnie- while it was still all acrylic i noticed t...bonnie- while it was still all acrylic i noticed that i had done the sky and foreground in the sun too warm. so i went back over the yellow ochre with the rose madder (pink) to cool it down. its very important in my way of working (bastardized cape cod school technique) that the underpainted shape reflect the proper temperature as well as value. the color doesnt even matter as much as those two things.hope that helpsmike rooney studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318109342734118088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-45677823877098727842010-04-20T19:46:00.876-04:002010-04-20T19:46:00.876-04:00Mike, thanks for the riches of information in the ...Mike, thanks for the riches of information in the transferring of smaller to larger scale. This one's shaping up great already.<br />Clarify one thing if you would:<br />Did you go back over oil with rose madder acrylic there at the end when you said you didn't like it and went back in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
