Lara,

It was just the marogers on this one. I think it was wet when I photographed it, but I just looked and it is still very glossy. Of course- it has retouch on it now as well. I dont think there is any way to keep the sheen completely even. Using it the exact same percentage in each paint glob will help - but different colors have different amounts of oil in them that will effect it... I'd say it's pretty darn even on this one though. I took Bill Whitaker's advice when I started this and used around 25% marogers to 75% paint. I think the manufacturer only recommends 10% though. I will give no advice on this issue, however - it's a controversial one apparently and I am no expert!
