eek Dust on canvas




If it's not one thing, it's another...

I have started applying glazes to an underpainting and I am having a terrible time with what I think is dust on the canvas. I have turned the canvas to face the wall while it's drying (I read that on a helpful post on this Forum), but I'm wondering how I can solve my problem. It's not even really dust, it's more like specks, which I guess is a few pieces of dust clumped together. It's not a lot - on the face of my painting I had to wipe away 4 or 5 of these bothersome things.

Should I be wiping the canvas clean with a clean brush before I glaze? Or a cloth with something on it?

I suppose I've always had this problem but when painting with thick paint, just never noticed it before. With the glazes, every little thing seems to show.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Joan
